Blog Guy, I’m hoping you can help answer a question for me. Where do babies come from?
Er, uh, you should probably ask your parents about that.
They told me to ask you, then they went off to work in their haberdashery.
Oh. Well, when a a man and a woman love each other very much, they pick up the phone and order a delivery from the Sperm Bike, which pedals over with a gallon of baby-starter.
You mean sort of like the ice cream man?
Sort of, if the ice cream was stored in liquid nitrogen-cooled vacuum containers and delivered by a medical technician on a bike.
Where do these medical technicians get the baby-starter, anyway?
I don’t know. I suspect it involves “Hustler” magazine at some stage of the process.
Thanks, Blog Guy. Do you suppose anybody ever shouts rude stuff at guys pedaling a gigantic sperm bike through town?
Rude stuff? You mean like, “Hey, it’s Speedy Seedy!” or “Look, it’s the Semen Demon!” or “Hello, Sperminator!” Nah, I doubt it, most people are more sensitive than I am..

Cycling on the berm
Riding bullitt for bio-firm
Bringing sperm to term.
If I recall, Lance Armstrong rode a bike. That’s all I’m gonna say.
Helpful safety hint for the day – don’t order salad dressing from the deli in the middle picture.
I hope that container is sealed well. It gets rainy in Seattle, and the roads get slippery. If the cyclist and his cargo take a tumble…
That’s gonna be one big baby!
I think they should have gone with an electric Smart car. You could come up with all sorts of neat (suggestive) slogans for it, and it probably would have cost the same as the bike!
@Nosmo – ew!
I agree with CG…YUCK!
file this under jobs I’m glad I don’t have. Sperm Bank Cyclist. I bet that will draw some attention on a résumé.
@Nosmo: You’re evil (and I’m still laughing!).
@Nosmo: You’re evil (and I’m still laughing!).
Am I the only one who thinks he is cute?
@Shra: Yes, he’s cute, but I’m not going to comment on his sperm.
—sigh— I remember my first “Hustler” magazine. I had to ride my bike to the store to buy it.
Attractive woman at party: So, what do you do?
Alan Dowden: I’m a biological analyst.
Woman: What do you analyze?
Alan Dowden: Umm, well, I’m also a cyclist.
Woman: Really? Professional? Do you compete?
Alan Dowden: Not really. I deliver sperm.
Woman: All men do, but few would actually call it “making a living,” although some call it “making a baby.”
I humbly offer a haiku:
