BBC - Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
On a lighter note....

I've now got all sorts of pictures in my head I didn't need :crazy:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6161691.stm

"A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men. The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.

The scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers.

10. But did they circle around the major population areas, to get the circumference?
It IS funny as hell.....didn't the Germans complain about condoms being too big a few years back?

3. Now You Tell Your Indian Friend That Old Joke:
"Hey, did you notice that when you buy condoms now, they come with serial numbers?"

(in accent) "No, that is something of which I am not aware."

"Oh, well, you have to roll them all the way down." (rimshot)

6. Maybe there's a number for customer support. It should be a local call
since they're in India anyway.

11. "Hello, what is the problem please??"
"My condom is too big."

"Sir, you sound like my boyfriend, Manmohan is that you?"

(Shyly) "Yes, Mukta..."

"Manmohan, you said it was big!"

18. Ahem ...............
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 06:37 PM by gbrooks
So this guy is so in love with his girlfriend
that he has her name tattooed on his penis.

When he's erect it spells WENDY declaring his
love for her.

When he's not erect it spells WY.

He goes into a public washroom and looks
down at the guy next to him and notices he
has WY tattooed on his penis.

So he says to the guy, "Hey buddy your girlfriend
must be named WENDY."

The guy turns to him and replies, "Sha Mon but I
do not know what you be talkin' about."

"Well, I tattooed my girlfriend's name to my penis
and I noticed you have the same tattoo, so I naturally
assumed your girlfriend was named WENDY."

So the guy looks down and turns to him laughing and says,
"Sha Mon but my tattoo do not say WENDY. It say,
WELCOME TO JAMAICA AND HAVE A HAPPY DAY"

29. .
I stopped giggling when I read the article and found this:

"The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation."

31. Ouch.
One would think that perhaps 25 years into the epidemic condom technology would have improved a bit.
