The good news is, as long as the guys also stick to “virtual reproduction”, they will eventually die off.

So sorry, but you checked "Virtual Wife" on your registration form. Payment continues long past checkout time.

There’s got to be a way I can come up with an idea to make money off all the losers in this world.

Create a fake religion that lets people do what they want and feel OK about it.

I know it’s been said, but has this become Japan’s new form of population control?
Wonder how long before it’s popularity reaches our shores.

“Don’t be fooled. I tried this and got virtual herpes.

That’s the good news. Just wait until a swarm of officers, led by a horde of underemployed lawyers arrives to collect the ‘palimony’ payments.

Oh, yeah - one more thing. The palimony payments will have to be real, not virtual.

Oops.

Not paternity. Palimony. My bad.

But I’m covered there too. I didn’t sign any kind of matrimony papers or agree to a commonlaw relationship.
