Except that the humpback whale will reproduce long before that marine biologist loses his virginity.

Well yes, humpback whales reach sexual maturity by around 10 years of age (some much before then it seems). A marine biologist is still practically in it's larval form at that point.

(Yes, yes, I know that wasn't what you meant, but I couldn't help myself)

Hmmm, let's see:

  • Can't even spell "can" correctly. (dumb)
  • Bad attitude towards animals. (mean spirited)
  • Paid for premium. (desperate)
