Varsity sex lecture
Ret's ESL Jokes
I once took a sex education class at university, and a funny thing happened one day. The teacher arrived and told us we’d be discussing sex positions that day, and asked us how many positions we knew. A young girl near me said, “seven.”
The professor said, “Very good.” But as he prepared to ask another student, a loud voice from the back of the lecture hall shouted, “ninety-one!”
The professor looked over his glasses but couldn’t really make out who had spoken. Finally, he called on a guy in the front row, and the guy said, “five.”
And again from the back, the same voice shouted, “ninety-one!”
Finally, the teacher pointed to a shy-looking lady sitting not far from me. She hesitated, then said, “Only one, Sir.”
The teacher asked, “Well, that’s unusual, young lady. And what position is that?”
“The one with the man on top and the woman under him,” she replied.
And from the back of the room, the same loud voice shouted, “ninety-two!”
