A Modest Proposal
| May 2nd, 2003Cranky Chick has a suggestion:
First, as we were sitting in the lobby waiting for a table at Amarillo Grill (you thought I’d say Village Inn, didn’t you?), B and I noticed a pregnant woman eating with her husband and 5 other children under the age of 8. We decided that sex didn’t have immediate enough consequences to prevent this kind of mass reproduction. As it stands, there’s nine months between the act and the result. We concluded that it would be better if, when a couple had sex, the woman would fall fast asleep in the man’s arms and wake up, like, three hours later with contractions. Then, poof, a couple of hours later they’d have a child to contend with. We definitely think this would help control the population and have the added benefit of making more people think twice about who they’re sleeping with.
(Thanks to Kirsten for pointing this out to me.)
