Just thought I would share our latest little drama with you. ( its a scream )
My daughter plays premier legue netball in the city and is going quite well with it. She is thirteen and decided she would like to coach little kids, so I have joined her and we have been going to courses all year to gain the accreditations we needed. We where offered our first gig with Div. 5, nine year olds. They are a great bunch of kids, very lively and lots of fun. The club has a strong ethnic, Catholic base and is pretty conservative and straight, but very welcoming and family orientated.
We decided to offer a weekly encouragement award and searched ebay for a suitably large trophy to send home with a different girl each week. We ended up with a huge gold trophy that looks like it came straight from the Melbourne cup and as it weighs over 2 kg., we decided to find a carrier bag for it.
As luck would have it I found just the thing at a garage sale a few days later. The sale was held by a couple in their seventies who where downsizing from their large tree covered rural block to a unit in the city. They didnt look that old and I asked them what their secret was. "plenty of bush walking and long bike rides in the country " I was told. The bag I had selected was a backpack that they took with them on their walks. It fitted the trophy perfectly and I was feeling pretty chuffed with my $2.00 purchase.
Next afternoon I was loading the trophy into the car in readiness for our first game as coaches that night, when I noticed something in one of the backpack pockets. A big wad of cash I thought ( we always want it to be a big wad of cash, dont we ? ) . Maybe a nice healthy muesli bar ( WHAT ???? I was hungry... )
Imagine my sheer terror when I realised, that for an encouragement award I nearly sent my sweet nine year old girls home with a huge great cup and half a dozen textured condoms.

Maybe they just got confused a little bit

Just thought I'd check for other possible uses. You know Girl Guide/Boy Scout stuff. Turns out Bush folk have uses in a variety of ways.

The fire starter is the one that makes the most sense for a bush walker
Kopes could use them for his balloon animals at the get together
I'd put the pic up, but I want to keep posting if it's all the same to you

I'm very impressed. They really must be in tip top physical condition if the husband of a woman in her 70s still needs condoms.

Very impressed also Springy.
But begs the question why the condoms - unless of course it is a new relationship & he is afraid of pregnancy.

I wear those ribbed ones inside out because I'm so good that I deserve the extras!

It had me puzzling too. The only thing I can put it down to is that they like the textured effect.
