A stupid moment from many years ago, in sophomore science class:
My best friend and I were talking with Michael, an old friend of ours, and had just been introduced to his friend Sean. It was possible that Sean had never successfully conversed with a female before (much less two of them) and was already proving himself to be of sub-human intelligence with witty jokes such as, "Why do tampons have strings? ...So women can floss after eating!" My friend and exchanged glances at this, since it didn't make much sense, but decided to chuckle politely anyways. The reason for the rather nonsensical joke soon became clear as the topic turned to pregnancy and Sean decided to drop the jokes and get down on the level with us.
"So," he whispers conspirationally, leaning in close, "really. How do girls pee when they're pregnant?"
Friend and me: "...Huh?" O_o
Sean: "I mean... wouldn't the baby come out with it?"
Friend and me: *jaws agape*
Micheal: "Sean-I-need-to-talk-to-you-over-here!" *drags him a few feet away and begins whispering furiously in his ear*
40 seconds later, he shrieks at the top of his lungs (in a classroom full of 15-year-olds, no less), "They have ANOTHER ONE?!"
How do you get to the age of 15 without knowing that women do not get pregnant in their bladders?
