egyptian lady: what else could you do to help the baby come?

me: well everyone keeps telling me that semen has something in it that naturally helps to thin the cervix.

egyptian lady: ahhh... ok. i have some in my kitchen.

egyptian lady: we use it in tea. maybe you should drink some.

egyptian lady: yah, semen. 

me: yeah... (puzzled look). you drink semen?

egyptian lady: yes! its nice! you can use it in cakes too...

me: huh?! what do you think im talking about?

egyptian lady: semen... the thing like a herb...
