This is a great example of "did I say that out loud???"

This happened at Harvard University in October last year. In a biology
class, the professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen
which gives the sperm all the energy for their journey.

A female freshman raised her hand and asked, "If I understand you
correctly, you're saying there is a lot of glucose, as in sugar, in semen?"

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

Raising her hand again, she 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, never to return. 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 in the back of your throat
