Remember that notion that male humans might have killer sperm? Well it didn’t pan out, so relax. Here, have some wine, try this amazing new Shiraz. Your feet must hurt from standing all day? I give a great foot massage, just lay back on the couch, put your head an a pillow and let me pamper you. Tell me what’s going on with you, I want to hear all about it.

Why would ladies care? The study is to disprove that the sperm kills other men’s sperm, not that it kills us. ---

Bugger off! I’m already in the jacuzzi and I 'm not up to sharing these days. ---

Meh killer sperm is so… mundane. I want [some other adjective] sperm - for example, _all terrain_ sperm or motorbike display sperm.
