Back in my grocery store cashing days back in University I used to be the clerk. I treated condom purchases like any other item because I knew the feeling of being on the other side of the transaction. Then one day some cougar woman came in and bought ointment, an enima kit, fondu cheese, and a value pack of condoms. I asked "How are you today?" like I always do keeping a straight face, and she replied "Good now, but I'll be better tonight" and winked. From that point on whenever someone bought condoms I had to fight the urge to cringe because it always brings back a mental image of this woman using all of her purchased items at once with her partner.
