I reckon I could father several hundred a night if I could get
sufficient turkey basters.

I don't think the availability of turkey basters would be the only limiting
factor, or is there something extremely desirable about your genes that you
would have hundreds of willing receivers?

How old does a man need to be to have 36 children then? It'd be
feasible to achieve it from a standing start in ~9 months ...

It would be possible for a man to father several thousand children a day
without great difficulty!

You're assuming just one shag a day - which seems rather pedestrian.

Why twins? At 36 y.o.a. one orter be able to father three a day at least
- assuming 100% fertility.

Given the opportunity, I'd give it a go now, at my age, innit.

Several thousand a day seems a little unlikely - even a thousand
leaves only 86.4 seconds per with no time for recovery (or anything else).
Nah not a hope, and no fun at all, best to keep it down to at most score or
so.

I distinctly unforget my mother warning me about loose cars and fast
women. She denies this strenuously, but given the sort of thing I was up

Several thousand a day is possible, but you'd need a very well set-up

But that's much less fun - I'd rather attempt the thousand.

wotbut each emission contains many wrigglers (well, not in arGooey's case,
innit) and you only need one per ovum to produce the desired result.

However, I suspect the original report referred to virtual ABs, not real
ones.

Bit like a local farmer who's been had up for VAT fraud, seems that most of
the income on his accounts, when examined by the revenoo, was from VAT
refunds.
