Well I was reading TVTropes(is it still 2013? hard to tell when you visit that place. It is like the land of the fae) and came across this -

'In North-Rhine Westphalia and other parts of Germany, there is a tradition that any man who is over 30 and unmarried has to sweep rubbish from the steps of the town hall until he is released by the kiss of a virgin. '

Well trout. . . that is just rubbing salt in!

That seems rather insane, to be honest, but kind of cool in an equally weird way.

There really can't be that much rubbish, can there? Like, is the town hall on a trash heap or something? If you're going to leave litter, you're hardly going to walk up the town hall steps and drop it there.

You won't find many EoFF users around there, then

So this is why I tag at least 3 Germans per day on the DS street pass, they're escaping!

Think that this might have something to do with their very low birth rate. Maybe if they get married sooner they will have more babies?

I think most men would prefer to sweep rubbish...
