This one happened at a major Australian University in October last year. In a biology lecture, a professor was discussing the high glucosen levels found in semen. A young female freshman, raised her hand and asked, "If I understand what you are saying, there is a lot of glucose in male semen,as in sugar?"

"That's correct." responded the professor, going on to add some statistical data.

Raising her hand again, the girl asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?"

After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing, the poor girl turned bright red and as she realized exactly what she had inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books, and without a word walked out of the class, and never returned. However, as she as going out of the door, the professor's reply was a 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 in the back of your throat!!".
