Man plants used condom garden in Florida

A Cape Coral, Fla., man gathered used condoms from a neighboring yacht club parking lot and "planted" them on sticks in the median of the street.

Robert Payne said he was tired of the "public copulation" happening nightly right outside his window at the Cape Coral Yacht Club, the Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press reported Tuesday.

In an e-mail to city officials, Payne wrote: "I wanted to do my part as a concerned law-abiding citizen by removing the beautiful blue rubbers from the parking lot, but I was unsure what to do with them because they represent a biohazard waste product that should be properly disposed of.

"So to help you and your hazardous waste team out, I stuck each of them with a stick and planted them on Driftwood Drive in front of the welcome sign to the Yacht Club. There they hang tonight, flying in the breeze as a proud symbol of our freedom and the great traditions of Cape Coral. Much like our beloved flag."

The city's mayor said while he sympathized with the neighborhood's concerns, he found the protest to be "repulsive" and has asked police to investigate whether Payne violated any city codes with the condom garden.

Hope he didn't prick his finger as he was gardening.

Dh, I am embarassed to say, did something similar with doggy doo, which kept meeting with the shoes a/o bare feet of my young children while they were playing in the grass in our PBC neighborhood. Dh would place the said doggy doo into Ziploc-type bags. He pinned up each bag he filled in the community mailroom under Lost & Found.
