This actually happened at UCD (University and College of Dublin) in
October of last year. In a biology class, the professor was discussing the
high glucose levels found in semen.
A young female (freshman) raised her hand and asked "..if I understand correctly,
you're saying there is a lot of glucose, as in sugar in male semen?.."
"That's correct", responded the professor, going on to add statistical info.
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's
face turned bright red, and as she realised exactly what she had inadvertently
said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without a word and walked
out of class... and never returned.
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."
