A Sex Survey !

A research aspirant from SIMC got married. “Horny” as he is, while on his first night, entered not with a perfumed handkerchief, but a questionnaire in hand. Shy & intelligently, he handed the questionnaire in neat white A4 sheets, which read as follows.

Flash News: The researcher from TNS is admitted to the nearby hospital with injuries. Initial reports say that injuries range from fingernail scratches, bruises on his hands and fingerprints on his cheeks. Adding insult to injury is the fact that next week, the researcher needs to go to the family court as SHE will be waiting. Since TNS has a survey to be done on the court premises next week, the researcher is happy that a ‘casual’ leave will be saved and hence money!!
