Reminds me of an old Monty Python scene:

Dad: The mill's closed. There's no more work, we're destitute.

[Lots of cries of 'Oh no!'... 'Cripes'... 'Heck'... from

around the room.]

I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific

experiments. [The children protest with heart-rending pleas.]

No no, that's the way it is my loves... Blame the Catholic

church for not letting me wear one of those little rubber

things... Oh they've done some wonderful things in their time,

they preserved the might and majesty, even the mystery of the

Church of Rome, the sanctity of the sacrament and the

indivisible oneness of the Trinity, but if they'd let me wear

one of the little rubber things on the end of my cock we

wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

Little Boy: Couldn't Mummy have worn some sort of pessary?

Dad: Not if we're going to remain members of the fastest growing

religion in the world, my boy... You see, we believe... well,

let me put it like this...

(SNIP)

Every sperm is sacred,

Every sperm is great,

If a sperm is wasted,

God gets quite irate.
