Childless turn to meals of testicles
From correspondents in Taipei

MOUSE testicles have reportedly become a hot seller in Taiwan since five infertile couples said they conceived after eating dishes containing the organs.

The craze took hold after a bulldozer driver in the southern county of Pingtung and his wife conceived their long-awaited baby about a month ago, the United Daily News said.

The couple had previously consulted western medical doctors but were not given the cause of their infertility, the paper said.

The man, identified as Hsueh Ting-fu, and his wife first learned that the mouse testicles were helpful to fertility two months ago when they were taken by a friend to a local restaurant to taste a dish made from the organs.

They then bought six kg of raw mouse testicles at the restaurant, which became part of their daily meals until the pregancy was confirmed.

Why we knew about that around here for quite some time now (spit my tobbaca) exceptin we use hogs & cows.  They're (spit again) a bit easier to catch.[}:D]

Great... mouse balls... now why didn't I think of that?

Capitalism at its finest, folks. P.T. Barnum said it most succinctly... there's a sucker born every minute.

Wanna buy some mouse balls?!!! Get yer mouse balls here!!! [:D]
