Serious Banking Crisis In Britain

I read it in the press today The guys in Britain must have all turned gay The local sperm bank is in need of ‘funds’ Only nine donors, guess other men have shunned I thought the men would be dashing to deposit Looks like they are all hiding in the closet! Poem penned after reading this article http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/aug/31/britains-national-sperm-bank-wants-men-to-prove-their-manhood 01~09~15

Well, you got me by surprise on this one and fooled me. I was wondering why I hadn't heard about the actual banking crisis when I read the title. What could have possibly caused this shortage? Perhaps they hired an ugly receptionist.

G'day Jan... perhaps there's a need to advertise on telly. If they are in a closet Jan I think their most sensitive part would be their ears - Lindsay
