IT COULD BE WORSE . . .

Romanian prostitutes, their business hit by economic
recession, are trying to lure clients by offering to do
household chores for them after having sex, a newspaper
reported Wednesday.

The daily National quoted a "sexual agent" in Bucharest
as saying that many women in the sex business had added
cooking and house-cleaning to the repertoire of the
world's oldest profession.

"We had to invent something because people don't have
money and clients are rare. After solving the (sexual)
problem, the girls clean and cook, for free. All on the
house," he said.

"Men are happy because many of them live alone and the
girls help them get rid of the three things which
torment their lives: sex, cleaning and cooking," the
agent said.

The Indian subcontinent has nearly half the world's hungry people. Africa and the rest of Asia together have approximately 40%, and the remaining hungry people are found in Latin America and other parts of the world. Hunger in Global Economy.

Nearly one in four people, 1.3 billion - a majority of humanity - live on less than $1 per day, while the world's 358 billionaires have assets exceeding the combined annual incomes of countries with 45 percent of the world's people.

For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day.
