Artisa Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Was on my last day of my PLAB 1 course a couple months ago - being in the medical field means you pick up a couple of more interesting-than-usual anecdotes now and then So our teacher was saying how whenever she was on duty in the accident and emergency, there was some woman that came by weekly asking for emergency contraception, and she'd make sure she'd come on a day when the doctor on duty was a woman. Now the norm is that when someone comes asking for emergency contraception, you're also supposed to give them condoms too and send them on their way, but this woman kept coming back for more, so my teacher was wondering what exactly the woman was doing, hoarding all this rubber, so she asked her. Turned out the lady had three kids and were saving them for her kids' birthdays. While the rest of my class reacted immediately I sat staring blankly for a looooong while until one of my friends said "SHE DIDN'T GET IT! DON'T EXPLAIN IT TO HER!! OH it's so refreshing seeing someone still as innocent!!" Someone eventually explained it to me and that was the last time I was called 'innocent'. Story done. Do tell me if you didn't get it and I shall explain it to you without an iota of judgement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMcCoy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I don't "get" it either, because I can of think of several reasons for her to do that, and I'm not sure which of these is the obvious one everyone reacted to. Okay, I'm fairly sure the incestous ones aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMcCoy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, okay, I guess the obvious one would be that she plans on gifting them time with a hooker. But in that case, wouldn't it be easier to just buy some damn condoms? Money wouldn't be an issue there, since, you know, time with a prostitute isn't cheap either.

Artisa Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 She was using them as balloons. Yup, I didn't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMcCoy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ah. I guess my mind was thrown into a completely wrong direction at the mentioning of you being "too innocent". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah, balloons wasn't my first thought either. Also I'd say of all the options, that's probably the most innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me old and cynical, but this is the one I would have gone for. You've got to be pretty desperate to give your kids condoms as balloons....what next, a tube of lube so they can spice up a game of piggy in the middle with greasy hands?

Zoom Rabbit Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I didn't get it because I use my condoms for garbage bags. What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artisa Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 LOL well I personally adore the cute little two-seater cars! Never seen them in either of the countries I lived in before, and some people actually put EYELASHES on them!! Too cute! On a side note, first driving lesson day after tomorrow! I thought it'd be cool but my brother keeps giving me the evil laugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it'd be cool but my brother keeps giving me the evil laugh... Anyone found to have decorated their car in cheap tat like eyelashes, headlamp covers, additional badging, silly stickers, go faster stripes, painted wheels/trims/hubcaps, black bonnets, gawdy seat covers, fluffy steering wheel covers, stuffed toys on the parcel shelf, or any other tacky nonsense, deserves for their car to be instantly crushed and them to be dragged naked onto the street and publicly pilloried. Hope the lesson goes/has gone well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
