This happened at Harvard University in October last year. In a biology
class, the professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in
semen which gives the sperm all the energy for their journey.
A female freshman raised her hand and asked, "If I understand you
correctly, you're saying there is a lot of glucose, as in sugar, in semen?"
"That's correct," responded the professor, going on to add statistical
info. Raising her hand again, she asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?"
After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing. The poor
girl's face turned bright red, and as she realized exactly what she had
inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without
a word and walked out of class, never to return.
However, as she was going out the door, the professor's reply was classic.
Totally straight-faced he answered her question. "It doesn't taste sweet
because the taste buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and
not the back of your throat. Have a good day."

Gosh, I think I know that girl!!! I think she's the one who asked my Earth Science teacher why the astronauts didn't hit "all those little star thingys" when they landed on the moon!!!! :rolleyes: :lol2:
Just kidding... about knowing her. That is truly truly wrong...
Now why is it again that I'm laughing so hard???

That's super funny! :jump:
I think it'd be better though if the professor had said something to the effect of: "It tastes kindof sweet to me..." or "Well, now that you mention it, you're right... I guess I never noticed..."

So true ci5ic but that was so funny!!! :lol2::lol2::lol2:
I'd also say something else, because I'm on a major roll for being sarcastic today, but I like AF and I want to stay here a little longer!!! :D
I do have one question though? Is Moss in college and how long is his hair???
