Buying Condoms

So, i was at a chain store (not gonna say which one), and my friend who knows all about my previous condom mishap says,
"Why don't you buy some since you are here?"
So, we go to look for the condoms.  And they are right out in front of the pharmacy where three people are waiting for their prescriptions.  I really don't want to stand there and analyze the boxes for the right ones.  I'm looking for a box of trojans that are just simple.  Of course there aren't any, they are hidden.  Suddenly, I hear someone behind me, asking about my hair.  It's a mother with her daughter.  I'm trying not to look embarrassed.  Don't they know NOT to ask questions to somebody standing in front of the shelf of condoms.  WAIT until they have moved away to something different BEFORE they ask.  Geesh.  But I answer their questions about my hair color, and go about my highly embarrassing quest for a box of just simple, lubricated condoms.  I finally find trojans and durex that are just lubricated.  But I don't know which one to get.  One's regular and one is extra sensitive.  So I buy both.  And of course, my friend just has to tease me about it, in the middle of this super huge chain retail giant. 

"Why are you buying TWO boxes of condoms?  You must really be preparing for a long night."  snicker

Hey, safe sex!  I know I don't want to get pregnant or diseased!

And now I have 20 condoms, ready to go.  Put a few in my wallet AND car.  Never know when the time is right.  Plus, now the one roommate the I borrowed from tells me that we can be on a barter system with condoms.  I gave him four now and he'll give me some when he gets back from Miami.  Hopefully, they aren't "Borrowed" condoms.
