Bob boarded a plane bound from Los Angeles to Boston and, after sitting down in his aisle seat, noticed an absolutely gorgeous woman seated in the window seat. As luck would have it, no one took the center seat and Bob starting thinking about the the best way to start a conversation. Unfortunately, the woman spent the next 4 hours completely engrossed in a manuscript and a number of textbooks and magazine articles.

When the plane was about an hour out of Boston, the woman finally put the manuscript down and relaxed. Bob seized the opportunity, saying, "It looks like you're working on a novel of some sort."

The woman smiled warmly and said, "Actually, it's my doctoral thesis and I need to get it finished in the next few weeks. I didn't mean to ignore you for so long, but I'm under the gun to get this finished."

Bob returned the smile and said, "No problem, I admire your work ethic. What is your doctoral thesis on?"

The woman replied, "I'm doing a study of human sexuality, especially as it relates to males within major ethnic groups."

"Really?", said Bob. "That sounds fascinating. Have you uncovered anything which is really revolutionary?"

"Actually, I found two particular patterns which have been unknown to this point. For example, it appears from our research that American Indian males have, as a group, the largest penises in the world. And, we've also found that Jewish men are able to stay erect much longer than any other ethnic group."

"Wow, that sounds quite interesting", said Bob.

"By the way," the woman said, "my name is Mary Wickham."

"Hi, Mary," said Bob, "my name is Tonto Rubinowicz".
