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!

Duke Beaufort Date: 9/8/2015 6:14:00 PM 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.
