The oldest surviving condom in the world has gone on display in an Austrian museum.
The world's oldest condom, dating back to 1640, has gone on display at a museum in Austria /Europics
The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users' manual, written in Latin.
The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.
The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.
Here, I'll let you know in a minute.
Hhmmm..you know it's been awhile since I've checked THAT isle out at the ol' 7-11. Maybe it's time to see if they have any with the drawsting feature. ;o)
The pork will be with you. Always.
ROTFLMAO
Yeah, I know what you mean. I still remember that movie with the glow-in-the-dark condoms.
Should we be worried about Larry...? Or could he have stepped out for some pig intestine? ;o)
I think he is away for a bit, tossing the ol' pigskin.
Explains the grin. Doesn't it?
You are on a roll today, my friend! Somehow, I don't take you to mean the NFL [neighborhood football league] - am I right?
You have a great sense of humidor! ;o)
I thought "Da Vinci's Secret Tax Code" was good, but yours takes the pork, err, cake
;)
Punchline: The regiment has decided to have it repaired!

Now, what did the commericals say about, um, you know, lasting more than four hours? Seek medical attention?
Yes, that condition is called priapism. See Robin Williams 2004 HBO Special for more details...
Hmph. Larry sure is taking a bit to get back to the thread. I wonder what is taking so long.
Could he be listening to his favorite band? Meat Beat Manifesto!
Or maybe he was watching "Spank-tro-Vision" and saw that funny comedian... What's his name... um, oh yeah, Buddy Whack-it.
Gee, I wonder if he could be watching the "Yankees".
Who do you think his favorite little rascal is? Alfalfa or is it Spanky?
Just having a little fun at your expense, Larry. No hard feelings, eh?
Pork. It's whats for dinner.
What a crack up you guys are!
LOL. No that wasn't me. I rarely jack with the keywords. ; )
