Sperm supply fear over tax demand

[emad]

One of the world's biggest sperm banks has warned that Danish government plans to tax its donors could shut it down.

Cryos International Sperm Bank, based in the Danish town of Aarhus, protested after being asked to reveal details of men who sell their sperm to the bank.

It says only 7% of donors would carry on if they were liable for tax on the 500 kroner ($85; £47) they get paid.

Cryos says it receives 30 to 60 sperm donations a day at its three branches, mostly from students.

Reminds me of my wedding night when my beloved hinted that the third bit of "love, honor and cherish" was most probably a a churchism for fellatio....

6. C'mon it's a charity. Of course it should be tax free

So for a $100,000 / year you need to wank thrice a day. Somehow that sounds entirely possible. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Q: So what to you do all day?
A: I'm a professional wanker :rofl:
