Times ARE Tough!

News here of a 15-20% increase in applications from would-be sperm donors. As the article points out, there's money to be made peddling this renewable resource. My only problem here is the blatant size-ism at work (no, not THAT size) in the application procedure of at least one bank, who requires the little devils to be produced by men of "5'10" or taller". Scoundrels.

  1. Reminds me of an old George Carlin line. "A man arrested yesterday for making an unauthorized deposit at a sperm bank."

  2. Think we can get our vasectomies reversed under the new Chappaquid-Care so we can participate? ...gives a whole new meaning to the term economic stimulus now doesn't it?

    ...sorry.

    You might not get fair compensation at the sperm bank, but this proposal -- The Optimal Taxation of Height: A Case Study of Utilitarian Income Redistribution might make up for the shortfall.

    Damn! I'd be a millionaire by now if I'd known about that deal.
