Sperm Count (of Doom)

Had to have a sperm count done this week. Mrs. Scylla made the apointment, equipped me with the sample cup and told me I had an apointment to drop off my “Sample” at 1:00.

I’m at work all morning with this cup in my briefcase, figuring I’ll just fill 'er up during lunch, and head over to the hospital.

Around noon though, I realize that the bathroom in our office is a pretty busy place, and that I couldn’t disappear in there for ten minutes without seeming conspicuous.

No problem, I think, I’ll head on over to the hospital. They have lot’s of bathrooms there.

I pull into the hospital at 12:45, walk in the main entrance, and around the corner finding the men’s room with no difficulty at all.

I step into the stall, close the door, take out my little sample cup, and realize that the gap between the door and the stall wall is about an inch wide, and that my stall is directly opposite the door into the men’s room. Anybody walking in will be able to see in pretty easily.

It is now 12:50.

Failure, is not an option. My wife has already undergone a battery of tests. She made this apointment for me. She made a special trip to get the sample cup so I wouldn’t have to be bothered. All I have to do is deliver the goods… so to speak. If I don’t deliver there is no way I can face the Mrs.

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

With intense concentration, I settle down to business, thinking about that girl in American Beauty. Oh Yeah!

Creak!

Door opens. I jump. Guy walks in, urinates, washes hands and leaves.

Okay back to business. Mmmmm. Jenifer Aniston.
Creak!

Damn!

Creak! Great, now there’s a line.

12:55. Must concentrate. No distractions matter. Doesn’t matter if they see you. This is a hospital. This probably happens all the time here. Get really serious now. Focus! That girl in high school, Megan, cute little Irish thing. The back of your car one night. Oh Yeah!

Rap! Rap! Rap!

“Hey is anybody in there?”

Doesn’t matter, block it out! Your almost there! Claudia Schiffer’s father has just lost his life savings to me in a poker game. Claudia shows up and begs if there is ANYTHING that she can do that will make me have mercy on her father.

“Well, perhaps we can work something out,” I say as she removes her blouse.

Creak!

Pay no Mind! Focus!

Claudia smiles as I take off my shirt. She admires my muscles.

Oh Yeah!

Oh YEah!

Here we Go!

Oh Fuck! The Cup!

As I spasm and deliver my sample into an airborne trajectory, somehow I manage to grab the cup and move it into an intercept course. I screw the top on, put it in it’s litle brown bag, pull up my pants, and walk over to the lab.

There’s two other people in the bathroom, but I keep my eyes rigidly forward.

“Hi, my wife called. I’m here to drop off a sample.”

“What kind of sample is that, Sir?”

“Umm, well, Spem”

“Yes sir, here’s your card. I think we have all your information. We just need to know how long ago the sample was collected.”

“Oh, it’s fresh,” I say proudly. “just got it less than a minute ago”

The lady stares at me, agape.

“Here, thank you very much.”

I go back to work and call my wife. I tell her I’ve accomplished my mission. I am congratulated.

My assistant walks into my office.

“What did you have for lunch?” She asks.

“Umm. Nothing. Just drove around.”

“You didn’t eat?”

“No, why do you ask?”

“Well, you got something on your tie.”

All I have to say is…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH.

Thank you.

This is truly one of the most inspiring stories I have heard all year.

That was great! I don’t have anything to add to it, but it was great. If you haven’t seen the movie, you need to see There’s Something About Mary…It will remind you that things could have been worse.

Couple of questions.

  1. Don’t these places usually have special rooms for this activity? They do in the movies anyways, seems like a good idea.

  2. Do you love your job that much where you couldn’t adjourn for a long lunch or a half day and really get into it in the privacy of your own home?

  3. I’d imagine the missus would have been a terrific help, maybe it should have been a team effort.

ROTFLMAO!! What a hoot!

Oh damn, that must have been a pretty wild one there to get it on your tie.

Did you have fun??

Holy shit. That was freaking hilarious man. Glad you took one for the team! Good effort!!

Well we don’t have a special room. One of the secretaries was quite shocked one day when a patient took his sample cup, walked outside, and came back 5 minutes later with the sample. I guess he filled it in his car. Reminds me of the song, “standing on the corner watchin’ all the girls go by.”
As for taking off work mybe he couldn’t afford it. This fertility stuff is expensive. One of the ladies at work had twin in-vitro babies. Total cost for multiple attempts $40,000.

How would they collect sperm from somebody if it was against their religion or they were impotent?

Just because your impotent doesnt mean you cant umm… shoot the geyser it just means your sperm count is so low that there is no chance of getting someone pregnant. As for the religon question… umm they wouldnt?

BTW that was hillarious!!!

ROFLMAO!!! The guy next to me here at work is now convinced that i’m totally off my rocker. That was too damn funny.

I know your pain Scylla. I had to do the specimen thing twice. The good thing is that i live about 3 blocks from the hospital. Both times i took in my sample, and the nurse asked what time was it taken, and i said looking at my watch in serious concentration, “oh, about 3 minutes ago”. The nurses expresion was to die for, till i explained where i live.

Hey Scylla, i don’t want to scare you, but have they mentioned doing an ultra-sound on your nads yet? After my two samples, thats what was next in line for me. Go to the X-ray department and have somebody run an ultra-sound on my cashews.

Turned out that 1 day before my ultra-sound, my wifes latest blood test came back, and she was pregnant. WOO HOO First thing i did, was called the hospital and said cancel that x-ray appointment please. :smiley: The nurse asked why i wanted to cancel. I said that the reason for the ultra-sound was because my wife couldn’t get pregnant, and now is, so i won’t be needing the exam. Hung up the phone, then the light-bulb went off over my head. Damn, what if it woulda been a cute nurse giving me the exam. Screwed up again. :frowning:

Impotence != (not euqal for non-programmers) infertility/low sperm count

Viagra might help the limp noodle but won’t make more white helmeted swimmers.

For those who is it against their religion to masturbate there is a device much like a leaky condom with no spermecide that can be used as a collection device. The man puts it on, has sex with his wife, and then retrieves the sample. Since it is leaky, they are not really using birth control so some do that.

Heheheeheeheh, that was a great story. If you do have another odd tale about things like this, I’d be glad to hear it. heh heh heh, have fun in the meantime.

Now, we’ve all noticed the inconsistency in the labeling of male sexual dysfunction, and I can’t say if there is a accepted definition for each in the medical community. My understanding is this.

Erectile Dysfuntion (ED): The inability to achieve a timely erection. Or the limp noodle condition.

Impotence: The inability to impregnate a woman, generally from low sperm count, and bad swimmers.

The latter in the past was the catch all for all male problems and I suppose could still be considered accurate, since its tricky to impregnate a hottie with a floppy hose. Thats just my interpretation. But I don’t think theres necessarly a right answer.

Bawahahahhaa!

Thanks for making my afternoon. :slight_smile:

Holy shit, that was fucking HILARIOUS.

I hope I never have to do that.

I am very upset that all you people seem to think that is humorous, some big joke?

I meant this as an inspirational story. I wanted to show what a man can do when he sets his mind (and hand,) to it.

It’s about overcumming adversity, and Succeeding!

You have no idea how hard it was. Let me tell you, it was very hard! (and then suddenly it wasn’t.)

Still I guess I can’t really be mad. After all, as it says in the Bible. “My cup runneth over.”

Scylla, I sympathize with you, I really, truly do. But damn, that was funny!

I’ve gotta ask, though–did you tell your assistant just what that spot on your tie was?

That was hysterical! It took me a second to get it but when I did I couldn’t stop laughing.

Scylla I hope everything works out for you and Mrs. Scylla. Good Luck!
