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.

Unless I woke up this morning after a sex-change, that would be brother.
Nice to meet you, fellow redhead!
It's so funny you say that, usc. Years ago, I was in a local clothing story waiting to pay for my purchases when the woman behind me said how she loved the color of my hair. How beautiful the shade was. She then asked me where I got it colored. I told her it was natural but she wouldn't believe me.
I finally got so exasperated over her denial the color was true that I finally said, "Let's go down to the bathroom and I will prove it to you!"
Needless to say, she dropped the conversation right then and there.
REDHEADS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
She did instruct for quite a while but is no longer teaching.
9mm are nice for target shooting
I don’t believe its natural. ;)
You know it's funny: Whenever someone wants to know if a woman is a real redhead they're curious about the carpet.
No one ever asks us men to check the carpeting around our .... well, you know.
Sigh.......
Ewps! Sorry, my redheaded brother! But the conversation was veering toward the female sex so I assumed. My utmost apologies!
Which my non-redhead wife and I will be doing today.
My oldest son (14) is into cars, girls and now guns. He's showing me this $560 target revolver, .22 cal with fiber optic sights that he wants for Christmas.
Ha, good luck with that .....
Hmmmm....if I knew how, I would give you your wish and prove it . . .but posting a picture of a Burning Bush shrub! ;-}
Horn-dog. Me either. ;-)
Your son is already 6’3” and he’s only 14??? Seems like the NBA might want to look into scouting more redheads if that is the rule rather than the exception.
Seriously, though, I know redheads are usually exceptionally fair-skinned and prone to sunburns, which in turn makes them at an increased risk of skin cancer. My best friend’s red-headed, fair-skinned and freckled husband who is remarkable in his even-tempered demeanor for ANYONE, red-head or not, went to a dermatologist about some suspicious areas that turned out to be basal cell carcinoma. Got to it early and he will be fine.
Moral of the story: hats of all sorts, sunscreen and SPF clothing are all the friends of red-heads everywhere.
bttt
Dan Quayle is a ginger Freeper! Who knew?
Those who know redheaded women are the most beautiful in the world, and those who are wrong.
Sorry, but they are natural brunettes. I must say their colorist did an excellent job for the HP movies. Had I not watched a special on The Biography Channel, would have never guessed.
On a visit to Ireland two years ago I could have sworn half the population had red hair. But they printed a story in a Dublin newspaper while we were there that only ten percent of the Irish are red-haired. The same thing when I go to the Milwaukee Irish Fest. You’ll never see so many red-haired people in one place.
C. Wesley Dupertuis conducted a survey of Irish people in the 1940s under the guidance of the Department of Anthropology of Harvard University, and gathered the following data:[13]
The hair color of the Irish is predominantly brown. Less than 15% have black or ashen hair; 50 % have dark brown hair. Medium brown hues make up another 15%. Persons with blond and light brown hair account for close to 5%, while approximately 10% have auburn or red hair. Both golden and dark brown shades can be seen in the southwestern counties of Ireland, but fairest hair in general is most common in the Central Plain.[14] Ulster has been evidenced to have the highest frequencies of red hair, with the lowest found in Wexford and Waterford.[13]
Studies have indicated the Irish are "almost uniquely pale skinned when unexposed, untanned parts of the body, are observed" and "40% of the entire group are freckled to some extent." Moreover, "in the proportion of pure light eyes", data shows that "Ireland competes successfully with the blondest regions of Scandinavia", as approximately 42% of the Irish population have pure blue eyes. Another 30% have been found to possess light-mixed eyes and "less than 1 half of 1% have pure brown".[13]
Not all redheads are fiery-tempered - my red-headed (now gray-headed) Irish-Scottish-French-German husband is a good example of a level-headed redhead. But there are enough riotous Irish to create the stereotype . . .
Just to make it worse: Judas traditionally was a redhead.
Yep, and he doesn't play basketball (never seen him dribble) and doesn't like baseball either. His Jr. High school gym teacher and now his Freshman high school gym teachers have both asked him to play basketball. He's told them in no uncertain terms "NO." His high school basketball coach called here last week and I told him the same thing "if he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to play."
So much for a college scholarship, guess I'm paying his way...
