Is this the best they've got?

One of my brothers goes to a Catholic high school. He went to a public school until January of this year when he transferred because two members of the basketball team wanted to fight him because he started in their position. "Well, I could get better to earn more playing time... Or, I could fight the starter." Anyway, Catholic schools are great for a lot of things. Science is not one of them. My brother is in a class that's something like "The Ethics of Genetics," which is basically a sex police course. I was having dinner at my parents' house last night when my brother quoted the teacher(a nun) of this course: "You know what she said about fornication?" Oh, that's awkward. Heads went down (poor choice of words to foreshadow what's to come) in embarrasment. Things were about to get weird and we could sense it. "Talking about fornication, she said that certain things go in certain places. Like you wouldn't put mashed potatoes in your ears. You would put them in your mouth." Wow, bad analogy, Sister Whatever. Leave it to a celibate person to shoot down sodomy with the phrase "You put them in your mouth." I bet the kids just thought, "Oh, yeah. The mouth." While she thought she was using good logic, what the students really heard was, "Blah-blah-blah, you put the white substance in the mouth." This puts people in the class in a better position at the bargaining table. "Come on, just let me put it in your ear! Why not? Fine, I guess your mouth will do."
