New Breed of Widows

First there were the poor golf widows. Now we have the World Cup widows.

World Cup fever brought with it sex drought. Yes baby, don’t bother about sex till July 10. In the evening, they are too busy watching the games. In the day, they are just dozing away.

Every man I know is sleep deprived. First work day of the World Cup and I already have my 2 male staff on sick leave.

I am quite sure global birth rates will mark a significant drop in February 2007.

GDP will drop with the temporary closure of the sex and porn trade. Revenue for condom companies will probably drop this month too. However, this drop will be balanced by the increase in F&B spending and electricity consumption.

The lucky ones will be the ginseng and tongkat ali producers – sales will probably skyrocket through the roof – spurred not by consumption as performance boosters, but for it’s “keep-me-awake” properties.

Historians, sociologist, anthropologist and economist should pay heed. This phenomenon can fuel a whole school of research and studies.
