Salty
One of my blogless brother's coworkers is enrolled in a biology class at one of the local colleges. In yesterday's class the professor was discussing various bodily fluids and their functions. As they were going down the list he discussed the composition of semen and how it was partially composed of Glucose. (Glucose being a simple sugar.)
Well apparently this confused one of the young ladies in the class, 'cause she had a question and dutifully raised her hand. When the professor noticed he allowed her to ask away.
The question: If semen has glucose in it why does it taste salty?
The class of course momentarily fell silent; until the roar of laughter became deafening.
The sad thing is, I know the correct biological answer.... because someone in my HS biology class asked the same question....

Posted by: WB at January 10, 2006 09:45 PMUm gross. I'd elaborate, but "gross" is sufficient.

Depending upon last meal eaten.
And I'm waiting for CalTechGirl to answer, damnit.
But I have to agree with Sadie: GROSS. LOLLL!
Posted by: Margi at January 11, 2006 01:37 AMThis seems to be a common question.
Also, Why is this gross? Nothing wrong with a woman with a mouth full of man goo.

I picture a stereotyped B movie blonde or a "girl from Chalmette" filing her nails at her little classroom desk, half asleep until the subject matter perks her attention and she delivers the above question.
