*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 onto 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 the class, never to return. *
**
*However, as she was going out of 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!"
