Yet last week another colleague asked me to arrange for VSO to provide some condoms to give away at a concert to promote HIV/Aids awareness. I was happy to help with this & whilst in Bali this week arranged a large supply – I texted my colleague back in Flores the good news. She replied [sic]:
Hi Karen. Thx for the good news…can u give us another help by buying some synthetic penis for the condoms?
I guess every culture has this type of double standard that are confusing to outsiders… you just aren’t aware of them if you have always lived that way.

Good and spectacular excuse, for lack of postings - very impressed! No doubt Anne Mac'll sort out a 'synthetic penis' collection, subject to a risk assessment of course! In fact your post led to a 'rash' of humorous comments etc. And finally, humans and 'double standards' eh - who would have thought it!?

where in god's name do you find a synthetic penis in Bali?!
KTs question is just the best title for a sure-fire best seller? Get writing mate!

Morning
We've been discussing this and are worried you gave away the Eurydice condoms. They were for you.
