7 Billion

In case you live in a cave and haven’t heard, the population of the world is now seven billion. I don’t know who counted, but I’m not going to ask for a recount.

To put this into perspective, I naturally have questions. Does this mean that in the future we will have to apply for a parking space when we’re born? At birth, should a baby be issued a birth certificate and a number for faster service - now serving 699,999,999,999? Just how long we will have to wait to get into the rest room? If only half work, what are the others going to do all day?  They may have to stand because we will soon run out of room to sit down.  And, will Walmart have to open all the registers?

This is a mind boggling thing. And, in just a few years, the numbers persons say there will be ten billion.

I hope they don’t all move to my burg. I think we have an ordinance against it.
