At the Bigfoot

Ok, so those of you who know me well, know I stop at the BP on highway 37, north of Bloomington, pretty much at LEAST once a day.

Altho it is now BP Gas and Circle K Convenience Mart, I still refer to it as the Bigfoot since that is what it was when I started going there years ago.

So, much of what happens in my life refers back to the Bigfoot.

I've seen a truck catch on fire, people go into convulsions, people fighting . . . all kinds of things.

The other day I needed some medication on the way home. My sinuses were driving me insane. So, I stopped at the Bigfoot.

As I am looking thru that section, I see lots of things that I find funny or curious. I'll get to those eventually, but here's the one I was to talk about today.

Condoms.

First of all, who HAS to buy a condom at the gas station? I can't figure out for the life of me why someone would need to do so. But, that's neither here nor there.

What got me was one of the kinds that I saw. Keep in mind I wasn't shopping for them, but this one just jumped out at me.

I desperately wanted to take a picture with my Blackberry, but thought that would look odd even for me. I mean, can you imagine the look on someone's face as they see me taking a picture of condoms at the gas station?



So, I came home and looked them up on the internet. First, I had the brand name wrong, so it took some research.

But, here's the information on the www.lifestyles.com website for this particular item.
LifeStyles®
Snugger Fit

Designed to deliver the added stimulation and natural feeling you crave.
Ultra sensitive with a unique, natural feeling shape.
Lubricated for extra glide and enhanced sensation.
Natural color and odor free.
Convenient 3-count pack.

Ok, there are several things that I am wondering about this:

1. Who is man enough to go buy a "snugger" condom. To me, this equates a man with a small . . . well, you know. Now, I'm not disriminating against those size-challened penises . . . or is it peni? But, you have to be pretty ok with yourself to do this. I think I would just order them off the internet.

2. What the hell is a "unique, natural feeling shape"? If it's natural feeling, what's unique about it?

3. Odor free? Come on, it's RUBBER . . . rubber has a smell to it. And if it doesn't, the lubricant surely would.

4. Convenient 3 pack. What number in a pack is inconvenient? 1,000? And I read into this that you only need 3 because, unless you are particularly talented with that tiny willy, 3 would last you 3 women . . . get my drift?

5. And again, who the hell is buying condoms from the gas station?

Why not pick up condoms at the gas station? How's that different than picking up a pack of cigarettes? "Oh man, I'm out of condoms, and I'm on my way to pick up my girlfriend. I wonder if this gas station has any." I wonder more about the canned and boxed food.

I can't answer the rest of them though. Maybe there's something special about them. Perhaps they're more penis-shaped than tubular. You should buy some to find out.

I'm totally opposed to buying condoms at the gas station . . . whether someone is "smaller" or not.
