I was in line at the farmacy cashier, the clerk was taking forever to process a simple cough syrope… Looking around, just to make time, i saw all the crap they put on shelves, desperately waiting for a person to make a last minute purchase. One of the things i saw were condoms, as in any farmacy in my town they are right there behind the clerk, you get all the diferent kind and flavors you could use or want, but what really captured my attention is that the trojan brand had a free deck of cards with a purchase of condoms… A deck of cards…. I mean… Why would anyone want a deck of cards… Or how would your condom buying desition change… “mmm which brand…what size…ribbed or not… Maybe flavored, but then again does she like bannanas or strawberries?, o cool glow in the dark… No wait… I know, the ones with a deck of cards!!!!”. Maybe sex is soo boring to some that they need a deck of cards to make it better? Because I know there is nothing sexier than playing poker. Perhaps its for after sex…you are there, you do your bussiness and in stead of that sweet pillow talk, you reach for the deck of cards, and the fun starts all over again!

Maybe I am just old and there is a new trend to pick up girls with a deck of cards… “hey baby, how you doing, whana play with my deck??? We can have some safe sex afterwards…” yeah i can see that working…

On the other hand, maybe if you dont get lucky enough to get laid you always have your deck of cards to play some solitaire… Now that is bad…. Really bad…

I suppose one could always go for strip poker, now there is a good idea… And the deck of cards is right there next to the condoms… How convenient! Get your poker face ready!

A deck of cards… Really…
