    Hey!
    Some of those are my notes from residency!!

    :)

    Have seen a few of these in real life - will never forget in first year of medical school a classmate answered you could feel the prostate by feeling through the vagina.

    During a lecture on the composition of sperm/semen, the prof was teaching how it was very high in carbohydrates and sugars for short term energy source. A female student classmate raised her hand and asked: "Why is it so salty then?"

    We all had a big open lab class, and one day we all had to do a urinalysis on ourselves after lunch one day. The class hottie, a Paris Hilton type, called the prof over to ask what it was she was seeing in her urine under the microscope. He calmly looked at the slide, then looked at her and said, for all of us to hear,: 'Sperm'. Seems she had a better lunch break than the rest of us. We were all dying laughing and she actually got embarrased.

    enough for now, best
