In a single boner, Britain's National Health Service demonstrates why government should have as little as possible to do with both education and healthcare, as well as why the once great nation is circling the drain:

NHS chiefs have been slammed after telling school children: "An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away."

A controversial leaflet — titled Pleasure — has been handed out to parents, teachers and youth workers in a bid to modernise sex education.

It highlights the health benefits of frequent action between the sheets and suggests teens have a "right" to a sex life.

The leaflet says: "Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week.

"What about sex or masturbation twice a week?"

The pamphlet was drawn up by NHS Sheffield. Steve Slack, director of its HIV and sexual health clinic, said properly informed teens had as much right to physical relationships as adults.

If Shakespeare were around today, the famous line would read, "First, let's kill all the degenerate bureauweenies. Then the lawyers."
