The Truth About Eric Cantor

A visiting professor is giving a seminar on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?"

It is just before the first in a series of financial meltdowns, they are all MBA candidates and it's the dawn of New Old Age 21st century: 90 students raise their hands.

"Well, that's a good start," says the tenured academic. "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 glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?"

Fifteen students raise their hands.

"That's a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?"

Three 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?"

Eric Cantor, a student in the back raises his hand. The professor is astonished. He takes off his 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."

Cantor leaps to his feet, ecstatic to get the chance of appearing before a crowd that will not lynch him on sight.

The professor says, "Tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost!"

Cantor is stunned: "Ghost?! I thought you said 'Goats.'"
