Friday semen blogging

I hereby call this story, CLEANUP ON AISLE 10!
Gosh ... how interesting that the headline on this article listed two natural bodily fluids, but the article points out that at least one additional natural bodily fluid was also part of the spillage. Is it because of our national inability to think about and talk about sexual things without making jokes or getting grossed out?
Or is it because, given the numbers of lonely truckers on Highway 10, a little more semen on the highway is not particularly newsworthy?

MARANA, AZ - A crash on eastbound Interstate 10 near Marana Thursday night turned into a biohazard situation after blood, urine and other lab materials spilled across the roadway.
The crash happened about 6:35 p.m. near the Trico-Marana Road exit.
No serious injuries were reported, but containers of blood, urine, semen and other medical lab materials were scattered across the interstate.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety and Northwest Fire District firefighters handled the crash scene near the Pinal-Pima County line.

Wll, the MAIN point of FSB is to show our media's discomfort about being straightforward when it comes to that most life-giving of bodily fluids (although they don't seem to mind talking about it when discussing rape cases -- more on that during future FSBs, hopefully). The SECONDARY point of FSB is for my readers to be able to go "hee hee, semen." The TERTIARY point of FSB is of course as a hook for new readers to be able to connect to the wonderful world of selfish hedonism. Since I don't know what comes after Tertiary, I'll stop there.
