HYATTSVILLE, MD—With the harsh economic climate making it harder than ever to juggle the costs of two households, a report released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics has found that more Americans are waiting until later in life to start a secret second family. “According to our data, married men with kids are increasingly likely to put off taking on a mistress in another state, setting her up in a place, and fathering additional children with her, at least until they become more established in their careers,” said NCHS director Charles J. Rothwell, noting that wage stagnation has made it more difficult for workers to command a salary sufficient to cover the mortgage on a second suburban home and fund two separate trips to Disney World each year. “It’s not uncommon these days for men to wait until they’re well into middle age before they start to live a secret double life. When you’re supporting six children spread across a thousand miles, you spend a lot of money just shuttling back and forth between both families under the pretense of business travel, let alone paying for double the Christmases and birthdays.” The study also found that, due to economic pressures, an increasing number of married men are electing not to start a secret second family at all, opting instead to lead a quieter life of routine adultery.

Study Finds Most Restaurants Fail Within First Year Of It Becoming Illegal To Go To ThemCOLUMBUS, OH—Calling bankruptcy an “unfortunate reality” for many current small business owners, a new study published Wednesday by Ohio State University found that most restaurants fail within the first year of it becoming illegal to go to them. “It may sound harsh, but our research found that over 90% of restaurants close just a few months after being declared a high-risk environment where people are no longer allowed to frequent or dine,” said lead researcher Professor Cara Coleman, adding that while many bistros, cafes, and fine dining establishments may seem financially stable at first, they almost always run out of money once the authorities step in and make it physically impossible for staff to work, or for most of their customer base to purchase anything from their kitchen. “Unfortunately, it’s an extremely tough business, and the profit margin from food sales is almost never enough to withstand several months of a city’s residents being confined to their homes, no longer allowed to work, eat out, or travel. The reality is, no matter how good your food is, that first time someone gets arrested or slapped with a $10,000 fine for trying to eat at your establishment can destroy you.” At press time, Coleman advised restaurant owners to raise at least $10 million to $15 million in additional funding if they wanted to survive the next year.
