Now I've told you, a strainer will not stop big strong sperm. However in
your case, you don't have to worry as they have to stop for a drink half

Normal force, which is, essentially, chemical in nature, and occurs when the
electrons in adjacent atoms push away from each other
Now I'm outta here, see you all in a few days!
