Oh, does that bring back a momory! I won't be able to explain the entire thing but you'll get the idea.
Several yesras ago there was a woman who was one of The Regualrs at The Local Watering Hole. Nice gal and surprisingly intellegent, but hung out with the wrong crowd. She's the only person I've known who, like me, sometimes worked crossword puzzles backwards.
But I digress...
A few of us tried to help her. Tried to keep her busy and away from the druggies and out and out criminals. We'd find her a job, make sure she had a place to stay...but she'd always backslide and end up in rehab for booze or drugs.
One day I was sitting at the bar when she suantered in fresh from some social service office. She sideled up to me, sat down and ordered a beer.
everyone in the room was quiet because we were watching "Bonanza" on TV. I guess that set her off because she stood up mext to me and with her arom around me loudly announced..."You can call me a S**T but you can't call me a WH**E. WH**E'S get paid, I give it away!"
Totally embarrassed I grabbed her and made her sit donw and be quiet.
Now the part that relates to what you posted.
Not to be treated like that she proceeds to open her purse and dump out what looked like DOZENS of condoms! She started rummaging through them sayg stuff like, "Look, this one is minty fresh!"
She then told us all that they had the condoms for free at wahtever office she was at. They were in a fish bowl and you could take as many as you wanted.
There is no happy end to this story. No matter what any of us did she kept going back to the drunks and druggies. Eventually she died by putting heroin in an eycup and putting it in her eye.
The last time I saw she was unconscious in the hospital. As I stood there praying, she passed.
A very tragic end, and I still miss her.

I forgot to mention that the local bars are given free condoms also.
BTW, Who Is Number One?
