My young son was with me when I went to a drug store to get cough drops. While walking down the isles, my son pointed excitedly at a display of condoms.

He said, "We learned about those in health class! They are to prevent the spread of sexual diseases. But why are there so many different package options?"

I replied, "The singles are for high schoolers hoping to get lucky on Friday night dates. The three-packs are for college students' weekend fraternity parties. The dozen packs are for married couples: one for January, one for February..."

About 35 years ago or so, a buddy of mine + I were taking a trailer full of hogs to the processing plant in Johnson City. My wife had asked me to pick up some bananas on the way home. So on the way we stopped at the HEB + I got the bananas, + as long as I was there, I bought a big box of Magnum condoms (before my vasectomy) + a 12 pack of beer + headed for the checkout; I wish I could describe the look on my buddies face as we checked out. + as soon as we got outside, he told me that he would never go shopping with ever again!
