A visiting
professor at Bob Jones University was delivering a lecture on
the supernatural. To get a sense of his audience's reactions,
he asked "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90
students raised their hands.
"Good, good. Out of those who initially raised their hands,
how many of you think
you've actually seen a ghost?" Some 40-odd students raised
their hands again.
"Excellent. I'm glad to see so many here taking this
seriously."
"Tell
me, now, has anyone ever talked to a ghost?" 15 students
raised hands. "What a wonderful response. Has anyone here
ever touched a ghost?" Up go 3 hands.
"Excellent. But let me ask another question, an unusual one,
perhaps. Did any of those who touched ever make love to a
ghost?
Way in the back of the audience, one student raises his hand.
More than surprised, the professor removes his glasses, takes
a step backwards and says, "In all my years of lecturing on
this subject, no one has ever claimed to have had sexual
relations with a ghost. Please, you must come up here and
tell us all about your experience."
The student nods, breaks into smirk and starts ambling towards
the podium.
"Tell us, what was it like to have sex with a ghost?"
The student stops dead in his tracks. "Ghost? Sorry. From
way back there I thought you said goat."
