At least the students recognize the absurdity and waste off funds by the leaders of UVA.

Looks like a great opportunity for Tiny Timmy Kabuki Tampon Walz has a great chance at a good college job. Gabby Abby Spamburger will be his Tampon boss.

Well, if there should be a transgender mass shooter on campus (and at UVA, the odds are pretty good!), the pads make excellent bleeding suppression bandages. And the tampons may be useful in a sucking chest wound situation.

Quite true.

Also very handy if you have a bad case of runny diarrhea. Don't ask me how I know this, however.

Makes sense, this policy should have been implemented at UVA decades ago.

Tampons are good first aid for gunshot wounds.

They do this crazy shit to force us to live in their world on their terms. They know perfectly well that it’s crazy.
