As you know, Bob, people often have problems with that sort of thing. Fortunately, we have a narrative device available to address those very issues.

I've been told that the New York ones aren't very good either. I should check out quality of the ten condoms my college is willing to give me each day.

The last line of the article is pretty special: the DC health department is going to respond to the concerns by sponsoring a contest! To design the package for its next high-volume condom buy. Somehow I doubt that they're going to permit contest-entrants to specify that their designs only be printed on wrappers not made out of flimsy paper. Morons.

Josh, it's ten because they are college students:

"oops, i think my keys went through that one"

"um, maybe that one too"

"how the hell do you open ... whups"

"um, is that inside out? "

"how the hell are you supposed to ..."

"damn, I think i put a hole in it "

"wait, it fell off. this has never ever happened to me before, ever. what are you laughing about? really, never"


not to mention dorm room pranks. lucky to get one use as directed out of a dozen, really.

You can fire pennies at really high velocity out of one. It's very, very dangerous.

The wrapper is emblazoned with the slogan "Coming Together to Stop HIV in D.C."

Groan.

So does this mean that the second amendment protects some forms of birth control?

I don't understand the picture in 9. A man with weird arms has inflated a condom, yes?

I had a friend in high school who could do that. I never saw him do it, though.

I trust you'll be demoing this at the next meetup. In a witty and urbane way, of course.

Don't try it at home. IIRC, it took three of us to set it up; they're very elastic, you know.

Not the pennies.

On the bright side, if you collect enough of the cheap-o DC wrappers you can use them to make paper mache dildos marital aids.

The other problem with those Chinese condoms is, you know, half an hour later you're horny again.

I'll say. Afterwards you have to extract the pennies from her cervix.

The PPG condom is specially shaped to hit the PPG spot.

I initially misread that as "PGP condom", which I guess takes security to the next level.

Yo mama's so savory, they use her for sauce on a D.C. condom.

Yo mama's so flavor enhancing, she can cause numbness in the back of the neck, radiating to the arms and back; tingling, warmth and weakness in the face, temples, upper back, neck and arms; and facial pressure or tightness.

Wait until he gets down off that cross. Then we'll see who's laughing.
