If football leagues shut down, I'm pretty sure there would be,
1. Riots
2. Murders
3.Suicides
4. Murders made to look like suicides
5. More gay men than ever in the streets on former match days
6. Pub fires (arson for the insurance - they'd have lost a shitload of cash)
7. Awkward silences at family gatherings where football would've usually been discussed (the shut down could be discussed for about half an hour & then the topic would be dead)
8. A lot of rich men sitting at home watching Trisha (This Morning is too intellectual)
9. A follow-on from 8., a lot of rich men sitting at home thanking God that Kilroy is no longer on TV (That amount of brain stimulation would surely have killed them)
10. A lot of unsatisfied housewives (No more quickies from the handymen - Desperate Housewives style)
And a bunch of other things.
Damn! I just wrote a bunch of shit. Oh well, another classic post which, by the time you've read it, will probably make you realise I am good at wasting time (yours & mine)
