Emergency shipment of condoms headed to Olympic athletes

[Swede]

"Citius, Altius, Fortius",indeed.

And, as if anymore proof is needed that a wild Olympic atmosphere permeates B.C.'s largest city, now there's an apparent condom shortage.


That's right. As you read this, an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city.


Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That's about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.

4. I blame it on all that adrenaline

It's said to increase libido, you know...



Still, I have to laugh at the "emergency" part of it...

"OMG...I can't stand it!! My nuts are going to explode!!! Where are those damned condoms??!!!????"

6. do they need special condoms?

I know there's a lot of athletes but you'd think the local Costco would have a good supply (and I know there's one just across the border my grandfather sometimes goes to). Maybe they get a good deal and need to go thru the contracted retailer, but I bet the thriving sex worker industry could help hook them up.

Maybe they'll just provide abstinence training in the meantime and hope for the best.
