Does this story go with THIS earlier posting on FR?

[zarf]

this headline is priceless....LOL!!

Okay, this assumes that all males have the same chance of reproducing in England. Not all males are going to reproduce (Elton John, Boy George for example) and other will have baren females partners. And not all children that are produced are probably going to reproduce (Joh Reid aka the shoe bomber). And you must remember the best of the British male gene lines were decimated during 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

So do we have any red blood Amercian males going to volunteer to help in this situation?

Let me know if any English women need a sperm donation...

[Joe Boucher]

At least they still have testicles, the french have all been neutered.

But a hamster ain't nearly as much fun.

I'm sure falling sperm counts have nothing to do with the rise in the feminist movement, and its emasculating influence.

There is a beautiful island in the middle of nowhere where the following people are stranded:

2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman
2 Dutch men and 1 Dutch woman
2 German men and 1 German woman
2 Greek men and 1 Greek woman
2 English men and 1 English woman
2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman
2 American men and 1 American woman
2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman
2 Australian men and 1 Australian woman
2 New Zealand men and 1 New Zealand woman
2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman

After one month, the following things have occurred:

One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.

The two Dutch men and the Dutch woman are living happily together having loads of sex.

The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of when they alternate with the German woman.

The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.

The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.

The Bulgarian men took a long look at the endless ocean and one look at the Bulgarian woman and they started swimming.

The two American men are contemplating the virtues of suicide, while the American woman keeps on bitching; about her body being her own, the true nature of feminism, how she can do everything that they can do, the necessity of fulfillment, the equal division of household chores, her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her much nicer and how her relationship with her mother is improving. But at least the taxes are low and it is not raining.

The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are waiting for instructions.

The two Australian men beat each other senseless for the Australian woman, who is checking out all the other men, after calling them 'bloody wenkers'.

One New Zealand man is having sex with the New Zealand woman, the other kiwi is searching the island for sheep.

And finally, the Irish divided the island into north and south and immediately set up a distillery. They do not remember if they have had sex, because it gets sort of foggy after the first few liters of coconut whiskey, but they are satisfied all the same 'cause at least the English are not getting any!

I thought these bozos were worried about overpopulation

British men are less fertile than hamsters...

But I believe that the are better endowed than hamsters.

[genefromjersey]

This is NOT necessarily bad news...

[Dan from Michigan]

My relatives in Ireland are probably celebrating that.

[boris]

The environmentalists tried this "sperm count dropping" ploy a few years ago. Great agitation. Finally someone noticed that it was all wrong, all false.

I remember seeing one article: "You're Half the Man Your Father Was" or something similar.

Guess they're trotting it out once more.

[dalereed]

This planet would be an overcrowded mess if people reproduced at the same rate as hampsters unless we lower the life expectancy to that of hampsters. Let those nutty limeys answer that one.

[Libloather]

...fish placed in the water to test it did not become feminised.

We've got our own Ireland - and she's had results converting both males and females...

[buccaneer81]

I can't believe no one had said it yet! "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!"

[DainBramage]

160 million per millilitre of semen to 66 million.

And the royal navy is decreasing too.

[SauronOfMordor]

from about 160 million per millilitre of semen to 66 million

Obviously, they're going to have to work at it harder to make up for it

[Kay Ludlow]

Maybe, rather than pollution, it's the easier life (less physically hard work) in developed countries that reduces the count. Our higher standard of living is great, but far fewer people have to do physical work, which could be statistically significant...

[Kermit]

Other research by the US Government's Environmental Protection Agency shows that, proportionately, a man now produce only about a third as much sperm as a hamster.

Why aren't hamsters affected by the pollution. There was more pollution in 1950 than 1970.

[The Raven]

Typical. They find something they can't explain and blame it on pollution. With no proof. I bet they can get a better correlation with size of governments.
