Embarassing Moment

1st Place.

And the winner is . . . This happened at a major Australian
University, during a biology lecture. A professor was discussing the
high glucose levels found in semen. A young woman raised her hand and
asked, "If I understand you correctly, you are saying there is as much
glucose in male semen as in sugar?" The professor responded, "yes,
that's correct", adding some statistical data to his lecture. 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 realised exactly what she had
inadvertently said, she picked up her books, and without another word,
walked out of the class - and never returned. However, as she was
heading for 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.
