FACT:

Ladies, are you concerned about the state of your crops? Do you wish those pesky cattle would stop trampling your maize with their nasty old hooves?
Well, why not try the Cameroonian approach? The good women of north-western Cameroon have finally called off their highly successful two-month sex strike, in which a quite staggering 6,000 women refused to have sex with their partners until they did something about the destruction of crops by those goddamn stomping cattle.
Which they did, unsurprisingly. It works every time, the fools.

I claim my no-prize for the nearest to, but not over, the 800th posting without 'cheating' (heh! sorry OB, but it's worth a try).

WoD.
