The Clench Instinct

When a human dies, their final instinct is to clench their lower orifices. This is why Necrophiliacs claim that corpses are better than the real thing.

Human 1: Dude you see that girl when she was almost stabbed.
Human 2: Yeah, you could see the clench instinct kick in.
Human 1: Yeah dude, it was hot.

Stephen Hawking: My best discovery for science was and will always be, the clench instinct.

Instinct

Jane's first instinct to being humiliated in the playground was to run after the boy that had initiated the teasing and give him "what for". Her decision to refrain from doing so was a wise one.
