The first time I ever bought condoms, about 10 years ago, I went to the supermarket chek-out, and of course, the barcode wouldn't scan, so, of course, the checkout operator *has* to make a call over the loudspeaker

"Price check on condoms at check-out 5, Price check on condoms at check-out 5".

So here am I, trying to act cool, trying to act like buying condoms is the same thing as buying a carton of milk, and *everyone* in the store is looking at checkout 5 to find out who the floosy is.

I maintained the cool exterior until I got out of the store, but now I think it's pretty funny.
