*looks at jumbo pack of tic-tacs in purse, sighs* FreshDirect needs to get a larger pharmacy department, stat.

I just don't see why people get so embarrassed over their purchases. I used to be a cashier at a drug store and I've seen it all and I really didn't care what people buy. And if you are worried that people will see the condom box through your shopping bag when you leave the store, just ask for two bags instead of one.

They used to sell condoms in the vending machines in college. Nothing sucks like walking home from a four hour chem lab in the snow to find your roommate in his boxer shorts buying condoms. He's been having sex for four hours and needs a resupply. I got sexiled for another hour.

I gotta agree with the sloth on the condom observation. It's a matter of pride to smack down the 12-pack of Trojan Her Pleasure.

Lice-killing shampoo? Very embarrassing. Condoms? A purchase to be proud of! It means someone wants your body! I've always felt nothing but pride when I've bought condoms. But for rash creams or lame-o fashion magazines, I usually get Altoids or saline solution as cover-up purchases, because I figure I'll need those anyway.

I stand corrected. Still, what are the chances that I'm going to have $3.50 in change and crisp bills when I'm about to get laid?

$3.50 for a single condom? Sheesh. Just get a 12-pack and distribute them among your pockets and drawers.

I don't do this. But I can't believe you posted about it with nary a mention of the classic scene in "Summer of '42."

Umm, The Nation is not a cover-up. It's something you need to buy a cover-up for.
