I hope this isn't too naughty for the DIS, but here's a true 'condom' story.
I visit China reasonably regularly on business and we stay in a very posh 5 star hotel in Ningbo. I'm not sure why, but they have packets of condoms in the bedside table draw. As a bit of a joke I decided to take one of the packets home with me to show Tam.
Well, the day we checked out of the hotel our taxi turned up and we had the usual plethora of Chinese gentleman running around loading luggage into the car and checking all was ok (if you think the service in the US is good you should try China).
Suddenly this chap comes running out from the hotel jabbering away in Chinese. All the many Chinese chaps helping us out start smiling and giggling. So, I ask the manager of the factory we visit (who speaks very good English) what's going on.
'He says you forgot to pay for your condoms'. Doh!
