A visiting professor at Clemson University is giving a seminar
on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks:
“How many people here believe in ghosts?” About 90 students
raise their hands.
“Well that’s a good start. Out of those of you who believe in
ghosts, do any of you think you’ve ever seen a ghost?” About 40
students raise their hands.
“That’s really good. I’m really glad you take this seriously.
Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?”–15 students raise
their hands.
“That’s a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a
ghost?”–3 students raise their hands.
“That’s fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further…Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?
One student in the back raises his hand. The professor is
astonished. He takes off glasses, takes a step back, and says,
“Son, all the years I’ve been giving this lecture, no one has
ever claimed to have slept with a ghost. You’ve got to come up
here and tell us about your experience.
The redneck student replies with a nod and begins to make his
way up to the podium. The professor says, “Well, tell us what
it’s like to have sex with a ghost.
The student replies, “Ghost?!?”
“Dang it, I thought you said ‘goats’.”
