Sperm bank turns down redheads
The world's largest sperm bank has started turning down redheaded donors because there is too little demand for their sperm.

Ole Schou, Cryos's director, said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing the facility to become much more picky about its donors.
"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."
Mr Schou said the only reliable demand for sperm from redheaded donors from Ireland, where he said it sold “like hot cakes”.
Cryos’s stores have now reached their peak capacity of 70 litres of semen, and Mr Schou has a waiting list of 600 donors.

I sometimes read British literature, and I’m often surprised by the tendency to speak disparagingly of red hair. It’s usually described as “ginger” and often the person is “scruffy looking” as in “the ragged gingerheaded thief”.
My guess is, it’s probably a little racist bias on the Irish. But the bias is definitely there.
LOL see? Gingers are a threat.
Sigh, what has this forum come to now with stereotyping redheads.
As if all redheads have bad tempers (we do not.)
Damn' right we are. WE are the master race. Hitler had it completely wrong.
Just fyi, the only sure fire way to verify she’s a redhead is to check the carpet (if you know what I mean.)
If you want complete confirmation, there's a "check" for that (see above.)
As a red-headed step-child myself, consider yourself put on notice. Super-Double-Secret-Probation.
>>I don’t know where it came from but I got it from South Park.
Likewise.

Cartman suffers from a mysterious and sudden onset of Gingervitus. Sick and tired of being ridiculed for his red hair, light skin and freckles, he rallies all the ginger kids everywhere to fight against discrimination and rise up and become the master race they are intended to be.
And if you don't agree the 2nd degree black belt will kick your butt
Well you know, those bastards stole our potatoe's and caused a famine. What do you expect from a bunch of mealy-mouthed British pricks?
Me too but I married a blonde.
Cheers!
That's right, or I send my oldest son (14, 6'3" @ 180lbs) who's a third-degree black belt to do it for me.
Either way, I win.
My wife is a 5th degree black belt and I carry a .45. I’m not so worried.
I went to the wikipedia article on redheads. It was quite interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair
For instance, I did not know that redheads need more anesthesia, feel certain types of pain more severely, and certain kinds less. Also the the Scots have a lot of red hair, but so do a lot of Jews -Shakespere and other depicted Jews in their literature as red headed - and in medieval times, redheads were also considered witches, and Mary Magdelene and Judas were usually depicted with red hair.
Encyclopedia off/ :)
Is she an instructor? When my two sons and I started together some ..... 7 years ago now (?) our instructor was a 5th degree, he and his wife are now 7th degrees.
A few of the kids (I call them "kids" ... they're 18-21) in the school have spent two+ years prepping for their 4th degree blackbelts, which in turn pushes the instructors to upgrade as they have to be two levels above the highest rank they teach and test.
As for me, I carry my HnK USP9 with me. Love that gun. (Also have an HnK USP45, but I "prefer" my 9mm)
Oh I dunno - let’s start with this!
http://singularityhub.com/2011/09/15/sperm-donor-has-fathered-150-children/
the donor’s sister contacted Tyler and his mother – not to help Tyler meet his father, but to tell him there was a good chance that he had a genetic heart defect. Tyler’s biological father had almost died at the age of 43 when his aorta ruptured. Two of the man’s brothers have the disorder, as well as his mother. And by the way, the family has a history of a connective tissue disorder called Marfan’s syndrome. Tyler’s biological father had never told the three clinics at which he donated sperm of his genetic conditions. His sperm has been used to father at least 24 children, yet he was never required to update his medical history with the clinics.
Either that, or her hair color was just done, within a couple of days, by someone who really knew what she was doing.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the Farkle laugh this morning, x!
You tell ‘em, my red headed sister!!
I think Wiki has that slightly wrong.
Red haired women have the highest pain threshholds of all humans, that's been scientifically proven. They also respond better to lower levels of pain medication for pain management than others.
As for the anesthesia, not sure that's so true either. I'm a redhead and have had 4 major back surgeries in the last 15 years. I can tell you that one of the anesthesiologists that put me under I literally scared the hell out of, as he put me so far under they had a hell of a time bringing me back. From what I was told, I damn' near slipped into a coma. I had to make it a point to tell the three that followed him that I go under easy, but tend to not come back quite so easy. The three of them were able to 'adjust' well enough so I was able to wake up afterwards much easier than the first surgery.
I can also tell you that I needed minimum pain management after a herniated disc repair, then a collapsed vertebrae (walked with that for 9 months), a spinal fusion then a bone spur removal from the surgery site just two years ago. Most of my pain management consisted of nothing more than some nerve pain meds (lyrica) and tylenol for a week or so following the first two surgeries. Two weeks after my spinal fusion at L5-S1, I was walking up to two miles a day on my treadmill. Not bragging, that's just who we're wired I suppose.
