[Lyric]

That's it, fellas. You have officially become biologically obsolete. ;)
But I'm sure we girls can still find a use for ya...IF you ask very, very nicely! :evilgrin:

1. but do they taste like the real thing?

[Tektonik]

2. ...

:rofl:

[Lyric]

6. Okay, that made me...

honest-to-goodness laugh-out-loud. :rofl:

[unpossibles]

15. or at the very least, are they less filling?

dirty minds want to know....

[Xipe Totec]

24. No, these taste like bone marrow - apparently... nt

[billyskank]

3. Sigh.

:(

[Lyric]

9. You will never be obsolete, dear billy!

You're the kind of guy we girls would keep around for reasons *other* than mere procreation ;)

[billyskank]

14. Oh

thank you. :hug:

[MistressOverdone]

4. Synthetic? Like you mean polyester?

oh. my. gawd.

[Deja Q]

7. More like polysperm. One size fits all... of course, like polyester, polysperm is made of plastic.

:yoiks:

[MistressOverdone]

10. And so uncomfortable

I'm picturing billions of little dudes in flourescent green leisure suits.

I lived through those days..it wasn't pretty.

[datasuspect]

5. does that come with a side order of pheromones?

[Deja Q]

8. And the complimentary "feels like real" turkey baster?

:yoiks:

[SteppingRazor]

11. But the opening sentence of the article says:

"Stem cells taken from the bone marrow of men can be coaxed into something that resembles an immature sperm cell, researchers working in Germany said on Friday."


So, you still need us! Nyah nyah nyah!! :P

[Richard Steele]

12. Not us, just our bones.

I don't like where this is going.

[Deja Q]

13. Yeah, but if the one things men are good FOR are not good AT,

they'll just invade, take our bone marrow for the cause of freedom, and leave us to rot. Nyah nyah nyah.

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Meh

Call me when they create sperm cells that can kill spiders and open jars. :P

[Lyric]

19. Such a visionary!

You know what girls reeeeally want, I see! :loveya: :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Not really

But I do know the stuff you let us do so we won't feel obsolete.

And bless ya for it. :loveya:

[unpossibles]

17. lucky for me I have other skills

mowing the yard, reaching the top shelves, lifting heavy stuff, emotional support, back rubs, etc.

I'd like to see a turkey baster do any of that stuff. Actually, I really would like that.

[formerrepuke]

18. 'sniff'.....and to think I've been practicing all this time for nothin'

[JoePhilly]

25. Really ... I don't think I've ever heard of a sperm shortage!

And I know I've got WAY MORE then I could ever use.

These researhers know NOTHING about supply and demand.

[Deep13]

20. Lucky for me I don't care if I'm useful or not.

:evilgrin:

[Wapsie B]

21. So who's gonna pay child support?

:shrug:


;-)

[rug]

23. Monsanto.
