Romanians to sell sperm to save jobs

Romanian workers desperate to save their jobs have hit upon an unusual fundraiser: sperm.

About 100 workers at a car factory in Campulung, central Romania, are planning to sell sperm to a fertility clinic to try to reduce their company's debt.

The idea came to them after local media reports that a clinic in the western city of Timisoara was offering donors the equivalent of $50 per donation - almost two-thirds of the workers' $80 monthly wage.

"We're afraid of losing our jobs," the plant's union leader Ion Cotescu told the AFP news agency.

"Orders are down and we have not been paid our salaries for several months."

yeh thats pretty amusing, and its a good 'community' sort of plan they have, but they all seem to have missed 1 obvious thing.. they could quit their jobs and make more money for less effort !
