Problem
The girl at the pharmacy can not choose a condom. She asked the seller:
- And you tell me, what's best to buy?
The back of the queue's voice:
- Winter in the yard! Take with studs!

I dont get it, but I am laughing my ass off trying to figure it out..... However, "Winter in the yard! Take with studs" is a fantastic punch line.

Yes, a little absurd. In Russian too Smiler
Seasonal change of "rubber" - normal procedure, and this advice may be normal in tire shop not in pharmacy Smiler
You are right - translation is often difficult due to cultural differences. For example "snack-after-drinking" (in Russian culture is required) doesn't have English equevalent.

So a lady is at the drugstore wondering what kind of rubber to use and the guy in back thinks she's talking about tires.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

IHOP, at least the ones I'm familiar with, are open 24 hours.
They have some tasty vittles.

Then there is Waffle House. I've sobered up in a few of those too.
