Let’s talk inflation. When I was in HS you could go into a 7/11 and get a 3 pack of rubbers for $1.

I suspect it’s considerable more now.

[Drango]

I rather talk about public education and how incredible difficult it is to teach kids to put a rubber on a banana.

It was the name of a porno-flick in “The Big Lebowski”.

[DManA]

Actually it’s in Bayport.

[Revolting cat!]

Bubblegum music for your pre-teens.

Thanks to creative euphamisming almost every phrase in the English language has been used as a sexual reference, can’t be avoided.

Such is the genius of English. Back in the day, my friends and I would sit around spouting nonsense and ask, "is that dirty?"

And, of course, in some sense it always was and we'd collapse in gales of breathless laughter [and grab another beer]. No street festivals were cancelled because of us that I know of.

[Rebelbase]

Next thing we know they’ll be someone to ruin the phrase bottle neck.

[GOPsterinMA]

It’s insight into the sickened, feminized, Western mind.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Because they have only been taught how to use a cucumber

[Fiji Hill]

How about the Hollywood (Calif.) High School Sheiks?

[YankeeinOkieville]

Log jam a vulgar reference?

Puh-leeese.

This is what our Stillwater calls it's shindig.

Now there's a reference for ya!

I propose that they also stop using the last name of “Lewinsky” because it has sexual connotations..

[Fresh Wind]

...everyone sniggers...

Careful, that word is 87.5% racist.

[NFHale]

“...We were made aware...”

Meaning, in translation to real-speak, some pansy-assed douche with nothing better to do than get offended by some non-existent “sexual innuendo” got the ONE original thought in their head (which, of course, WILL die of loneliness eventually) and felt absolutely COMPELLED to complain about it...

Yeah... isn’t it just GRAND when 99% of the population has to bow down to the lowest common denominator - you know, the 1% who have trouble finding their own ass while sitting on the toilet...

Welcome to modern day Amerika!!!

I was never able to understand why a banana or a cucumber would want to wear a rubber. Can someone please explain?
