I guess this is a true story (maybe a WSU alum can confirm):

> Here is an "interesting" story about WSU Campus life and the
> importance of education. In a biology class, the prof was discussing
> the high glucose levels found in semen. A young freshman raised her
> hand and asked "If I understand you're saying there is a lot of
> glucose, as in sugar in male semen?" "That's correct", responded the
> prof, 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 realized 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 Prof'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."
