Protection for an Infectious Staff

Every once and a while at our daily newspaper we get some free promotional stuff that companies are hoping we can somehow integrate into story ideas.

The most common pieces are movie media kits, CDs to review and occasionally some funny material.

Well our good friends at Trojan sent us over some samples of their products for whatever reason, most likely in an attempt to have us promote safe sex on campus.

After the laughter subsided, we realized just how much stiff, I mean stuff they had sent us. And after pulling one box out, realized it was just the 'tip' of the iceberg. Sorry I can't help but make phallic references.

The opportunity arouse to acquire a box or two of the contraceptives, but then I realized that my lady friend was in London until the middle of December. Even though their expiration dates were well beyond the scope of my current predicament, I decided to forgo the penile protectors.

We continued to laugh at the assortment of condoms they gave us and to top it all off, they put it inside a big black sack (That was not intended to be dirty).

On top of being random and the fact that they didn't include a letter, left us confused but satisfied. No one has taken any, I guess in concern that they will be labeled fornicators, which isn't an entirely bad thing in my opinion (As long as it is in the realm of legality).

As I look at the table where all the products were placed, I see that they are all gone. Maybe someone took advantage of the opportunity for worry-free fornication supplied by our friends over at Trojan.
