Condom CommercialPosted on 04/23/2005 5:12:09 AM PDT by Born Conservative
NEW DELHI - Only a quarter of condoms made in India are used for sex, most of the others are used to make saris, toys and bathroom slippers, a newspaper reported Saturday.
The condoms are valuable to manufacturers because of the lubricant on them. Sari weavers place the condoms on their thread spools and the lubricant on the prophylactics is rubbed off on the thread, making it move faster through their sewing machines, The Economic Times newspaper quoted an Indian industry official as saying.
Sari makers also turn the condom's inside out, place them on their fingers and use the high-quality lubricant to polish gold and silver threads used in the traditional Indian women's outfits.
India manufactures more than 1 billion condoms annually to check population growth and curb the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Can't they just get pickles in a Delhi? I'm not trying to curry favor with anyone -- I'll just Goa way now.

Bathroom Slippers ???
Yeah... gotta keep those toe-jams imprisoned, eh? !!! ;-))
Indiavent you determine the puns are worth pinging, let me know. Right now, I don't wanna bother, cause I think this thread is a bomb, eh?
Rajah that. I don't want to make an Assam myself, and we both have more important Madras to deal with.
Well...at least they ain't using the "used" ones.
Yep, foot fetish..
Normally I'd think one would have to be a real scum bag to joke about condoms, but it appears the innovative Indians have tapped into their reservoir of creativity and really expanded the use for for propholaxis. They may take a ribbing for it, but apparently they're pretty well insulated from any barbs we may be slinging.
Lucknow, you took a nice Punjab at this topic, and quite honestly there are Nan any better at it than you because you Sikh out so many sources for your humor. I Vishnu puns suggested themselves to me, because I get Agra-vated when I can't come up with any.
We used them to cover the end of the gun barrels, and tampons were great as bore swabs for shotguns and feminine napkins for 60 mm mortars.
So, being in love means never having to save your sari?
Is that you, Yogi Berra?
