US woman advertises for student sperm
Ananova ^ | Nov 15 2001

Posted on 11/16/2001 1:15:08 PM PST by 2Trievers

A Californian woman is looking for a university graduate to provide her with sperm for artificial insemination.

She has had applications from 30 Stanford University students after offering £10,600 for their service.

The woman has already chosen the names Hannah or Niles for her new baby.

Candidates must do a physical examination and interview and fill in a 28-page genetic history form.

The 33-year-old divorcee placed a classified advert in the Stanford Daily newspaper.

One 20-year-old student who had already planned how to spend the money was disqualified because he wasn't tall enough, says The Times.

What did I tell you, Cagey. A most important requirement! Am I a trend setter, or what?

(With apologies to Topol)

*REJECTED* At the genetic level, no less.

On the other hand...

She's obviously a nutty divorcé, with way too much surplus time and money on her hands.

On the other hand...

He's doubtless been rejected like this before by women because he's short.

On the other hand...

He's a grad student, with better than average employment/career prospects.

On the other hand...

He's short.

On the other hand...

He'll be able to look those tall bastards in the eye someday and tell them how the cow ate the cabbage!

On the other hand...

He'll have to look up to look them in the eye.

On the other hand...

Size isn't everything...

On the other hand...

Sometimes 'size' is the only thing.

"US woman advertises for student sperm"

This is a hoax.

It was a "typo" error made by the advertising clerk.

Should have read ..... "US woman advertises for student perm".

It was discoverd the "old broad" liked little boys to play with her hair.

Another,"Fathers aren't necessary," story.

It's also another example of men contributing to their own obsolecence.

She could get the same information cheaper from most sperm banks. Guys in medical school often supply sperm for extra money. And the sperm bank tests for the most important thing: STD and HIV.

Reminds me of the joke where a feminist approched George Bernard Shaw and said they should have a baby together: "Imagine" she said" A baby with my looks and your intellect".

Ah, madam, he answered, but what if the baby had MY looks and YOUR intelligence?

I hope the selected applicant is ambidextrous because after filling out a 28-page application, you would think his wrist would be too sore to ummmm....well, nevermind!!!!

I know b4...I'm BAD.

Now there's a babe!

You have to understand my passing interest here. While in college, my older brother used to call home to announce when he was bringing a friend home for the weekend. If I did not speak to him directly, it was up to my Mother to find out if the house guest was "tall." (I'm 5'8"). It became a standing joke that I would not "double date" with my bro' if the guy was shorter than me. We still laugh about our "disasters." So size does matter, in that department, anyway.
