Wanna get pregnant? Then get your male buddy to stop doing these:
1. Don't smoke marijuana. Smoking this deliciously illegal substance makes the widdle spermie tadpoles weak and they can't "swim upstream", so to speak - oh, they get out of the cannon but don't go far after that. (hmmm, does their inactivity make them obese as well?)

2. Avoid french fries. Or at least all fatty foods as they drive down the sperm count.

Just saw this on the news and had to wonder. #1 affects very few people indeed, so why bother mentioning it?

But #2?! This one boggles the mind! How the hell does ANY American woman get pregnant then?! Most American males suck up fatty food as if they were Hoover super-suck vacuums. That means their sperm count should be lower than their IQ, given their logic...

Oh yeah, now they're saying that the taller you are, the bigger your salary is - particularly if you're in sales or management. THIS IS NEWS?! :eyes:

1. Actually quite a few smoke pot
I believe that I saw numbers saying that 5% of adults smoke pot every day and 20% of adults have smoked it in the past year. It may decrease fertility a little but I have known several heavy pot smoking fathers. In Jamacia, something like 70% of men are pot smokers and there are plenty of Jamacians.
As far as the fat issue, its the same thing. Maybe, it decreases it a little, but not enough to change the population.

The swallows have returned to Capistrano less reliably...

3. Maybe it's a republican and/or right wing bullshit anti-French agenda
"See, thsoe damn French and their fries - reduces your ability to concieve, so that the immigrants and third-world darkies can out-breed you,a nd eventually America will no longer be white, but will be a commie pinko darkie country ruled by family-hating minorities!"

4. Funny, according to some Bush-sponsored commercials,
# 1 actually helps contribute to early-teen pregnancies!

5. So, ...If we're just tired of taking the pill and wrestling
with a diaphram, - we should fatten 'em up and get 'em stoned?
