The other day in Biology, my teacher tried to explain that semen is comprised mostly of sugar, a blonde girl in the back pipes up “then why does it taste so salty?” She promptly ran out of the classroom with the reddest face. IMMD

  1. Wow, that’s so weird. I’ve heard that same story from hundreds of idiots!

  2. uLoop says:

    I heard it a little different. The girl said “then why doesn’t it taste sweet”, the teacher told her that is is because you taste sweet with the tip of your tongue, not it’s rear area. The girl started crying.

    • Sally says:

      didn’t they prove that model of tastebuds is wrong?? ie you can taste all flavours everywhere?

      • Kholcomb says:

        Yes, but I believe they also proved that certain areas of your tongue are BETTER at tasting certain types like sweet, bitter, salty, etc. You can taste everything everywhere, but how well is the question.

  3. lola says:

    that joke is old.

  4. Jay says:

    Oldest urban legend in middle school…

  5. Lurker says:

    The way you posted that joke as if it actually happened to you…

    …it left a bad taste in my mouth.

  6. Rii says:

    Ahah, this is a very old urban legend. Tasteless, but rather funny.

  7. flava says:

    when are people going to start coming up with original stories instead of posting old crap that’s been around since moses?

  8. maddiek says:

    HAHA no.

  9. Zenos says:

    immd fail.

  10. Longboarder says:

    Simpsons did it

  11. MacheteJack says:

    OLD. FAKE. LAME.

  12. AndyS says:

    WIN.but how old is this joke?

  13. marc says:

    you suck for copying very old jokes everyone and their grandma already heard before

    • Donna G says:

      I’m grandma age (50) and this one is new to me. I was thinking the same thing as the embarrassed girl.

      • nifer says:

        maybe its just because you haven’t been in school for 30 years, because the first time i heard this joke it was at least 10 years ago and in school

  14. required says:

    she wouldn’t taste the sweetness since the sugar receptors are that front of the mouth, while the salt is near the back. ;)

  15. Lynz says:

    i’m currently having a hard time believing that an old urban legend that I have heard of before makes it to this site while i have sent in a few moments of win and haven’t gotten them posted yet.

  16. Gargomon says:

    Maybe it needs some cracked pepper?

  17. HURRRRR says:

    you disgust me {:

  18. Jane says:

    For the love of… people! Just because its been said and done does NOT mean it can not be done again, is that such a hard concept to comprehend? Morons.

  19. Lame person says:

    Lol…sucks to be you people, first time I’m hearing this…so I lol’d =P

  20. Annie says:

    Eh. Not a fan of the tags for this one :( Accidentally admitting to sexual contact at an awkward time makes you a “slut”? Forget that.

  21. vervain says:

    It’s only a matter of time before someone posts an IMMD about how they saw a peanut getting assaulted while walking in the park, or about the time they went out for drinks with their buddies the minister and rabbi, isn’t it?

    *sigh*

  22. Dar says:

    I think I heard this in third grade, 18 years ago.

  23. WhatsAnInternet? says:

    That’s reddest face and blondest hair.

  24. Discoman says:

    this happened in my bio class once-except the girl was a brunette

  25. Charlemagne TNT says:

    My Human Sexuality prof told us this joke in class a couple decades ago.

    And here it is on Snopes: http://snopes.com/college/risque/salty.asp

    • Selene says:

      Ah Snopes… how I love thee. Nice to find somebody else who actually knows about that frigging website. I am so sick of “it’s true! My mate tould me that his cousin had told him that his girlfriend and her mother were told that their gardener saw it happen!” I usually just link to the legend on snopes too. :)

  26. Dave says:

    Because your taste-buds are on the tip of your tongue, not the back of your throat.

  27. btp2u says:

    Nom,Nom,Nom

  28. Dan says:

    does that mean it has weight watcher points?

  29. Aquaras says:

    Hmm…Salty. Must be…BLOOD!

  30. * says:

    What is the point in faking an IMMD?

  31. tulkinghorn says:

    Weird. I heard this same story from a friend of a friend of a friend.

  32. blahDifriggin'Blah says:

    I live on a different continent than most of you and I’ve heard it before as well on Overheard In Dublin. But do you not think that there must be some basis of truth for it to be so talked about? That is after all the definition of a legend, urban or not!
    seriously, anybody who takes a biology class is going to come across the subject at some point and every class has an idiot, if not more than one.

    Like in my biology class a week ago while discussing the cervical cancer vaccines the teacher asked why girls our age were reluctant to get the vaccine n somebody piped up “coz everyone says u have to be a virgin” and half the class goes “yeah!” before realizing that they’d all just admitted to not being virgins, and I was one of them even though the teacher’s my cousin and she could tell my parents. The class are all aged 15-17. On the spur of the moment people are idiots, accept it!

  33. mrLector says:

    Well I learned 2 things here, neither of which I think I needed to hear.

    Say, since a sperm is 1/2 of the recipe for a human baby, can’t it be said that this girl is 1/2 a cannibal?
