I know we have to deliver it with something but did it have to be pig semen?

Scientists: Well it probably doesn't HAVE to be I guess...

Of course it doesn't have to be pig semen. What other kind of semen did you have in mind?

People: "I was thinking no semen?" Scientists: "huh... Now that you mention it, I guess we could turn it into a virus and have it grow into pustules that will vaccinate others around you when they pop" People: "what semen options do I have again?"
