In America dating is big. It's so big there is an industry built to cater this part of social life.
From dating sites to valentine day to candy to flowers the GDP benefits from this scam big. Add to this another industry making a killing - big pharma.
If you watch any tv show for consecutive two hours you will likely see about four drug ads focused on parts of your anatomy you did not know existed.
If you really get serious and track what they are pitching you realize that all those pretty girls and guys wandering about in bars are likely carrying one or two diseases.
Fungus is most common but drugs that are sold to tackle it carry risks of lung inflammation, heart palpitation and liver failure so buyer beware. So anyway its scary to think that so much fungus on people could also affect innocent bystanders as it were due to spores flying off.
Then there is copd. Not sure what symptoms are exhibited but again it makes for a potentially scary date. Regardless pharma companies want to be in on the action so they can tend to those copd and keep the case alive till the date experiments and then if they live the night perhaps they will keep taking their drug.
Then there is the quintessential performance enhancement pills designed for eliminating dysfunction of the erectile part. Without the latter the date is a bust or something like that.
Then you have your run off the mill migraines, severe asthma, ulcers, inflammation of a variety of parts and gastro specific issues.
All this has amazingly not dampened the dating spirit. There is commitment after all!

Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...
Is this what they call chemical warfare?
