So says Johannes Singhammer, a member of parliament in [this](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5295432/?GT1=3584) article.

I’m not quite sure what I have to say on the matter other than 😃 .

I’d swear it was a joke (and it very well may be) if I hadn’t found it linked from [http://dellnet.msn.com/](http://dellnet.msn.com/).

Not surprising, really. Having lots of sex is cheap and time-consuming entertainment. If a significant number of people start having sex just three or four more times a week than before on their bankers’ advice, that means a good deal more capital is sitting in the banks instead of buying up frivolous things. It’s an easy pitch, too.

Well, that certainly would make Chartered Accountancy a much more interesting job.
