| #3 One of the most funnist "most embarrassing-moment' stories I've come upon in a long time was about a lady who picked up several items at a discount store. When finally got up to the checker, she learned that one of her items had no price tag. Imagine her embarrassment when the checker got on the intercomand booomed out for all the store to hear: "PRICE CHEAK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPERSIZE." That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the store apparently misunderstood the word "tampax" for "THUMBTACKS." In a business-like tone, a voce boomed back over the intercom: "DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?" #4 This one actually happened at Harvard University in October this year in a biology class, the Professer was discussing the high glucose levels in seman. A young female (freshman) raised her hand and asked "if I understand, you're saying there is a lot of glucose in a male seman as in sugar?" "That's correct" respnd the Professor, going on to add statistical info. Raising her hand again, the girl asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?" After stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing, the poor girl's face turned bright red, and as she realized exactly what she inadvertently said (or rather implied), she picked up her books without a word and walked out of the class... She never returned. However, as she was going out the door, the Professor's reply was classic... Totally strait-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. |
