Girls’ biology lesson


Mr. Smith, the biology instructor at a posh suburban girl's junior college, said during class, "Julie, would you please name the organ of the human body, which under the appropriate conditions, expands to six times its normal size, and define the conditions."

Julie gasped, then said freezingly, "Mr. Smith, I don't think that is a proper question to ask me. I assure you my parents will hear of this." With that she sat down red-faced.

Unperturbed, Mr. Smith called on Cassandra and asked the same question. Cassandra, with composure, replied, "The pupil of the eye, in dim light."

"Correct," said Mr. Smith. "And now, Julie, I have three things to say to you. First, you have not studied your lesson. Secondly, you have a dirty mind. And thirdly, you will some day be faced with a dreadful disappointment."
