Looks like they worked pretty hard on it. From: HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:HAPS-L-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Janet Sherman A student sent me this last year. I do not know the
source. This student may have written it herself. The
last verse had alot of sexual innuendo (she knew that would not offend me) ....
so I edited out all but her last line. I teach the nervous system
last (in A&P II) so this usually comes at an appropriate
time of year during Fall semester. If anyone is interested in the
'naughty version' contact me privately! THE
