It's What Your Right Hand Is For...

Some may consider this a rather delicate subject, but what the hey, why mince words?  I am going through the motions to see if I am eligible to become a sperm donor.  My first introduction to the Andrology Laboratory at the Queens Medical Center and its facilities were less than impressive.  I was interviewed by one of the staff, given a plastic pot and asked to go into "the other room" to produce a specimen.  To be honest, the room provided was less than, shall we say, helpful.  There was a toilet, a sink, a chair which was covered with a long paper towel, a waste paper bin and a box of gentleman's magazines.  Not magazines of gentlemen.  Alas, thinks I, it's down to the old imagination.  So, I try to get comfortable and take matters into hand.  It took a bit of contortion to get into the right position to eventually aim a sample into the pot. 

The results came back quite quickly; apparently I have plenty of little sperms and they respond well to being frozen.  So now I have a medical to go through just to find out that there are no nasty hidden genetic defects lurking within and then a counselling session.
