New York running out of Swedish sperm

Two years ago the FDA banned sperm from Europe over concerns that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which can be found in mad cow cells, could be passed on via sperm.

Now New York sperm banks are running out of the desirable Swedish, Danish and Norwegian sperm.

The New York Post reported that "New Yorkers looking for a bouncy, blond, blue-eyed baby are in a panic as the city's largest sperm bank - and the only one with imported goods - is running dry."

You can find the names of the remaining Nordic donors here, with interesting names such as Aake, Agge, Birk, Olaf and Uffe. Personally, I think Aake should be Åke and some of the other names I haven't heard in decades. Maybe they're from Iceland?

In fact, after having studied the FDA list of banned countries, I note that Iceland does not appear to be on that list. So a tip to the New York sperm banks specializing in the Nordic types . . . get your butts over to Iceland and you may stay in business!

Problem with Iceland: Only 311,000 inhabitants and over centuries an isolated island. The gene pool might not be the best. But blond hair should work out all right.
