you can't make an omelette appear in a wire story without breaking some eggs
In response to the egg donation article below, I received this letter (identifying info removed):
You like working as a chef? Why not stay home with me and make dinner and we'll eat it ourselves and then you don't get paid?
Okay, that's not the greatest analogy. Why don't you take a crack at it in the comments?
Hi, Jen,Well, I don't even know what to say, except that donating eggs for money and having someone else raise children you never meet is almost completely unlike getting married and having children and raising them yourself. I can confirm this with my mom anytime.
I am a doctor lawyer in [metropolitan area] who graduated Phi Beta Kappa from [fancy school] and then graduated from [another fancy school]’s Law and Medical Schools.
Instead of serving as an egg donor, ever think of meeting someone nice and getting married and having children? It is great that you got a perfect 1600 on your SATs but my scores are also quite high.
If you would like to get together for coffee or dinner let me know.

Something tells me that none of the following would be particularly good ice-breakers with someone you never met, either:
1) Instead of serving jury duty, ever think of getting arraigned?
2) Instead of serving as the town alderman, ever thought of running for village idiot?
3) Instead of serving the Lord, ever thought of selling your soul on eBay?
4) Instead of serving your country, ever thought of surprising them tonight by serving Jell-O, instead?
and, most obviously. . .
5) Say there, cupcake, instead o' servin' as an egg donor, how'dja like to be my li'l sperm recipient instead? Heh heh. Hey, wait! Where ya going?
Hahahahaha! That's great. Why serve your country when you can surprise them tonight and serve Jell-O instead? That's classic, Matt--you HAVE to use that line! I told all the people here at work that, and they said it was one of the funniest things you've ever said. (And you say plenty of funny things, m'dear!)
How about:
6) Instead of serving process, ever considered duelling with light sabres? [Rich's submission]
7) Instead of serving as a pall bearer, ever considered becoming a sherpa? [Amy's submission.]
I'll try to think of some of my own.
8) If you won't consider serving Stove Top stuffing instead of potatoes, how about a threesome with me and your roommate? Heh heh. Hey, wait! Where ya going?
