Return to innocence* - Enigma

As i conclude the lectures on Criminal Law, i was telling my students that studying crime must have been an eye-opener to many of them! They actually learned what sado-masochists gay men do to each other, they found out that people do cause hurt and pain to each other in order to enjoy the pleasures of sex more, they learned what is the meaning of buggery, etc.

However, yesterday i was pleasantly reminded that some- if not all - of the girls in my class are still quite innocent!!! We were just chatting about committing crimes and going to jail - and i just casually mentioned to the guys that if they ever go to jail, when they are taking their showers, if they drop their soap, DON'T bend down to pick it up!

The guys understood wat i meant but i was so amused by some wide-eyed innocent girls asking why not!!! One even went so far to ask if the prison shower floors are sooooo dirty!!! She added that the soap can still be cleaned even if it was dropped onto the dirty floor!

I thought it was best to leave them in their ignorance. It is bliss, isn't it?
