BERLIN - Germans spend on average six weeks of their lives having sex, compared with two weeks devoted to religious activities, a magazine reported.
According to the magazine, Geo Wissen, the average German spends 16 hours of his or her life enjoying an orgasm, far less than the six months fumed away in traffic jams or the nine months spent doing the washing and ironing.
Sleeping was the major recreational activity: on average 24 years and four months.
The magazine based its report on life expectancy figures and data from the office federal statistics office.

How many of those 16 hours were spent with a partner? Any calculation as to how much PVC was involved? How much time spent scrubbing stains out of Lederhosen?

Slow news day in Germany.
Wonder if that will change due to Viagra?
Speaking of Viagra...
A guy goes into his local pharmacy and asks his druggist, "Do you have Viagra here?"
To which the druggist replies, "Sure do." The guy then asks, "Well, can you get it over the counter?"
The druggist: "If I take two..." --cymbal crash--
