As an aside, my wife and i were having trouble conceiving, so i bought a cheap microscope just to sanity check that my sperm were alive and kicking.

Of all the things my kids and i have looked at under the microscope, sperm is some of the most entertaining to watch.

While it's obviously not a definitive measure of fertility, you can tell a lot by just observing them, and seeing at seemingly millions of sperm going crazy took the stress out of trying and we became pregnant soon after.

Nothing like the wholesome family activity of looking at your father's sperm. Maybe you should print a picture for over the fireplace or get t-shirts made?

Or maybe an educational “how to” video for the rest of the world. Though you’d probably have to pick a different site than YouTube to host it.

"Hey kids! That used to be you! HA HA HA!"
