Sexually transmitted diseases surged to a record high in the United States last year, with more than two million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis nationwide, officials said Tuesday.

This was "the highest number ever," said the annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report released today by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This is not at all surprising. Austin is the sewer of Texas.

"Washington D.C. has over 1000. WTH? People must really be screwing around there."

Probably, because they sure aren't doing what we elected them to do.

We keep seeing this correlation between people playing with fire and getting burned. Can’t figure it out...

As our plane came in for a landing at Dulles a few days ago, I turned to my wife and told her This is Satan’s Kitchen.

Luckily such diseases are preventable.... but they don’t mention that.

Nationwide, gonorrhea cases reached 470,000, with a large share of new gonorrhea cases among men who have sex with men.

Who didn't see this coming?

That would be more interesting. I googled TN STD by county and got cases, but I had to go to another site to get population to make the comparison.
County Pop. Chla.Cases rate per 100k<\TR>
Shelby (Memphis) 939877 7866 836.92
Davidson (Nashville) 648801 4545 700.52
Williamson (Franklin) 192997 386 200.00
Hickman 24226 56 231.16

I am surprised Nashville is as close to Memphis in rates, but Nashville has gays. Williamson county south of Nashville is more upscale. And Hickman is poor as dirt, but I threw them in to see if very very rural was better.

***Kentucky girls have been looking pretty good lately***

I think you meant West Virginia girls?

West Virginia is too far. I can be in Kentucky in an hour.
And I went out with a girl from West Virginia once.
She was a little mental, and not in a good way.

I can be in West Virginia in 40 minutes from where I sit.

Problem is, you can’t get a girl there interested.

Unless she’s your cousin.
