A visiting professor at the University of Alabama 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 thats a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think youve ever seen a ghost? About 40 students raise their hands.

Thats really good. Im really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost? 15 students raise their hands.

Thats a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost? 3 students raise their hands.

Thats 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 Ive been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have slept with a ghost. Youve got to come up here and tell us about your experience.

The redneck student (remember, this is Alabama) replies with a nod and begins to make his way up to the podium.

The professor says, Well, tell us what its like to have sex with a Ghost.

The student replies, Ghost?!? I thought you said goats!
