Their procreation day dubbed the "Day of Conception" is September 12th. Who could argue with a holiday for something called the National Day of Conception, no matter when it's celebrated? I can almost guarantee that 99 44/100% of the male population of the U.S. would line up the night before to participate in that holiday! On top of that if you give birth on Independence Day you stand a chance of getting prizes! Last year's winning Russian couple collected an SUV. Others won TV's, refrigerators, washing machines, and the like. In America such an SUV could be manufactured on a strictly limited basis. Produce only one of them a year for the contest winner and it will be deemed an instant "classic". Of course the SUV could be produced by any car company as long as the model has a name like "the Sexcapade", or we could just give the winner a hummer....again. Imagine finally being able to claim a trophy for your bedroom antics!

The U.S. would go wild for that especially if that means we get a "day off", so to speak. Imagine the sounds around your neighborhood as everybody does their part and "pitches in."



Not only would it be rhythmic, but it would probably prove melodic and ear-plug worthy if the neighbor's are anything like the people at my house. The holiday would be guaranteed to surpass Halloween and all of the others combined with the exception of Christmas. Christmas is mainly for children anyway so why not give the adults that are still young at heart their own humping holiday

Since July 4th is our day of Independence, 9 months prior would be October 4th. That just so happens to be my wife's birthday so it works doubly well for me. Who wouldn't want to have their birthday off from work in order to lather up? I mean on your birthday you practically have to be in a coma not to get lucky! Even comatose patients sometimes "get some" depending on the quality of care of the nursing home they've been placed in unwittingly. A day off for carnal knowledge as a goal sounds much more American than Russian. It also sounds like any night in every singles bar, but this would be different.

Follow the words ...

After all of those years of mutual assu red destruction, duck and cover jingles in the classroom, and downright dreaded doom of cold war reality, there is finally something about Russia to be admired. The headline in the Denver Post said it all! Russians get a day off to procreate, then win prizes. It almost makes one want to become a communist.




As the story goes the Russian region of Ulyanovsk is fighting the Russian trend of a population decline. More Russians are dying than being born. That might have caused great cheer 30 years ago, but today the solution is inspiring. Russia has one-seventh of the worlds land mass, but only 141 million people occupy the space. This region is offering a unique way for folks to give birth to "a patriot" on Russia's national day.
