Never liked or ate oysters. However after the fifth child I got a vasectomy. Ten is a good number. Give your parents my compliments.

Among my siblings and me, we were somewhat unproductive: a total of 22 kids resulted so we didn't mirror our parents' committment to making more of us "Pennslyvania Dutch" sorts. Only 3 of those 22 were boys, so we didn't achieve a replacement rate from that perspective.

In my case, prostate cancer and its surgery ended my race for a dynasty but I am very happy with the children I have.

Can't help but feel sorry for those lost souls who decided to never have kids - missed out on the best part of life.

Just kidding about the oysters - last time I had 'em I got gastroenteritis and got really sick.
