The difference between 1978 and today is no one had to tell us to carry a condom to the prom. And...we brought ours home still wrapped up in the wallet.
Carried that condom so long I still have an imprint on my butt cheek.
I had a round wear mark indelibly marking the leather of my wallet in HS. I was Semper Paratus in HS. Only later was there any need to replenish my stock.
