How not to communicate new scientific information

The Professor wanted to make his case in the most convincing style possible. He indicated that, in his view, no normal person would find the experience of giving a lecture to a large audience to be erotically stimulating or erection-inducing. He had, he said, therefore injected himself with papaverine in his hotel room before coming to give the lecture, and deliberately wore loose clothes (hence the track-suit) to make it possible to exhibit the results. He stepped around the podium, and pulled his loose pants tight up around his genitalia in an attempt to demonstrate his erection. Via Not Exactly Rocket Science.

Ricky Leecock told me that Leonard Bernstein sent him out to find a jockstrap, because he kept getting an erection while conducting the Israel Philharmonic in Beethoven's 5th.
