Food for thought.
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."
