Husband for Hire

Since Spidey mention about outsourcing, this reminds me of something I read about a 'husband for hire' business in the states some time back.

The novel concept created some uproar as it was unheard of.. In a sense, its a glamourised way of calling repair men, plumbers , 'husbands for hire' (I dont know what other 'plumbing' work they do though! :p) I heard the business is good. as there are indeed alot of single women, who would need such services of the 'handy' man around the house.. hence the term 'husband for hire'.

I am not sure if such a conce'pt can take off in 'prudish' , 'squeamish' Singapore. Perhaps if the terminology is changed, then it would be just like any other repair/handy' business. 'Husband for Hire' probably would come on too strong for our censorship board due to its innate "illicit" connotations..

What do I think of this? Well, it doesnt ring a bell for me, since I dont stay alone. If anything is spoilt, I'd turn to my dad.. That said, its indeed good to have a guy around the house! (Provided he can repair stuff! :p)
