Government Unveils Man Benefit

Found this on a different site (that pasted it from 'Viz'), but it's worth the reposting, I think...



Amid the severe cutbacks announced in the recent public spending review, the government has unveiled plans to pay women to shut up.

The new Man Benefit, which will be partly funded from the savings made by cutting Child Allowance, will be paid to any woman who stops banging on about things. Initially, those eligible will be paid £72.80 per week to give it a rest, rising to £114.60 to leave it out altogether.

"I think every man knows the feeling of just wanting a bit of bloody P&Q every now and then," said Minister for Blokes John 'The Guvnor' Johns MP.
"We hope that the proposed Man Benefit will be a useful incentive for the female of the species to stop bending our ear-holes about every little thing," he added.

Although the benefit would be expensive, it would, according to the government, be cost effective. "The amount of time women spend giving men a right load of old grief is costing the economy over £100m a year. This should sort that out," said Johns.

"Not to mention giving us fellas a bit of a holiday from the constant nag nag nag," he added.

Women's groups were paid not to comment.
