Several cities around the country are reporting a steep rise in the pawning of trophy wives. The practice had never been seen before mid 2008, but now some pawn shops report as many as seven or eight wives pawned per week. Apparently a number of puerile men who in the past were only looking for arm candy can no longer afford women that contribute nothing useful to society. David Ambrook, a pawn shop owner in San Diego, CA said, "Most of the douche bags just want cold hard cash in exchange for their brainless tart, but one guy last week swapped his for an acoustic guitar."
