JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE ONE:
Germans 'wear wrong size condom' (news.com.au, December 2, 2004)
MOST German men wear condoms of the wrong size, a condom distributor said today, after asking more than 2500 men to measure their erect penis.Posted by Orrin Judd at December 3, 2004 4:58 PM"People measure their feet when they buy shoes. Why shouldn't they measure their penises? A man would not wear children's shoes," said Jan Vinzenz Krause of Vinico, which released the study's findings on World AIDS Day.
Most condom boxes in Germany indicated size but men, due to embarrassment or vanity, rarely checked or just bought those marked "extra large", he said.
Huh. No wonder they keep falling off.

Posted by: M. Murcek at December 3, 2004 6:22 PMIt was reported a few years ago American dress makeers were putting smaller numbers or larger sizes of clothes in order to make women happy and feeling better about themselves. Perhaps the Germans need to take this strategy and use it in reverse in this situation.

Posted by: Steve at December 3, 2004 10:43 PMThis is not news. Anyone who has ever vacationed in places where there are significant numbers of unmarried German women knows this. My guess is that the schnitzel-fressers got them shot off in the two world wars.
