Plain brown wrapper alert!
Linda Stasi in the NY Post:
$perm solution

Spurred on by a feasibility study, workers at a Romanian car factory last week came up with a scheme to relieve their company’s $20 million debt. Their solution? One thousand of them volunteered to become sperm donors at $50 a pop. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, for those involved, it would take 20,000 donations per worker to pay off the whole (I can’t help myself) nut. Since the average wage is only $150 a month, why they don’t just quit the factory and turn pro I don’t know. An every-other-day visit to the fertility clinic could increase a guy’s monthly salary, not to mention his fantasy life, by five times. And he’d never have to crank another ratchet.
