Friday Funnies: Sex At The Olympics

From Newswire.tv

Sex looks like it has become the unofficial sport of the Beijing 2008 Olympics after 100,000 condoms were handed out to athletes.
The condoms are being given away in the Olympic Village along with sex education leaflets and videos in a host of different languages.
There are 10,500 athletes so they could have nine condoms each - if having sex with other competitors this would mean they are able to have it away 18 times during the competition - lets hope they still get time to compete.
Provided by the China Reproductive Health Industry Association, this is the first time the olympic condoms have been made in China and quality checks have been carried out to certify the condoms meet international standards.
Free condoms have been offered to athletes in the games since Barcelona in 1992. UNAIDS hope making the condoms available helps bring across messages about HIV prevention.
“Olympic athletes are helping break down barriers of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV,” said Dr. Peter Piot, UNAIDS Executive Director. 
“They are also well placed to carry the messages across countries and cultures to inspire people to adopt behaviours that protect them against HIV,” he added.

Apparently having sex will raise testosterone levels naturally.  This has become a new way of sort of cheating the system.  It’s a least better than sticking yourself with a needle.

Things I’ve Recently Overheard Around My House

“Dad, what is a courtesy flush?” (6 year old)

“She’s not my girlfriend, we’re just going out.” (10 year old)

“Bird! Bird! Bird!” (10 month old referring to everything.  The waitress, the cat, the motorcycle, etc.”

“I wish Trey would learn how to walk so I can read books to him.” (6 yr old…think about it!)

“She moves her body like a SIPHONE.” (…instead of Cyclone)

“We go to early service church” (Collin’s response to his teacher when she asked him what church we go to)

“Does God have a cat?  What about a dog?  Why not? Does He not like cats?”

Could someone please bail my *** out of jail?

From a Mexican Newspaper on May 21, 2008…..

A Mexican donkey has been freed from jail.

Blacky was held in the prison for three days for biting and kicking two men near a ranch outside Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of Chiapas state.

He was freed after his owner, Mauro Gutierrez, paid a fine and hospital bill for the two men injured, reports ITN.

Mauro said: “This issue has been already paid for and fixed, so I’m no longer involved in this.”

Mauro must also pay £244 to each man to compensate for loss of wages.

 

Happy Friday!

Typing on a Toilet Seat!

From ananova.com

Some computer keyboards carry more harmful bacteria than a toilet seat, according to new research.  Consumer group which said tests at its London offices found equipment carrying bugs that could cause food poisoning.  Out of 33 keyboards swabbed, four were regarded as a potential health hazard and one harboured five times more germs than one of the office’s toilet seats.

A microbiologist ordered the worst keyboards to be so dirty he ordered it to be removed, quarantined and cleaned.  It had 150 times the recommended limit for bacteria - five times as filthy as a lavatory seat tested at the same time, the research found.  Dr Wilson, a consultant microbiologist at University College London Hospital, said sharing a keyboard could be passing on illnesses among office workers.  “If you look at what grows on computer keyboards, and hospitals are worse, believe it or not, it’s more or less a reflection of what’s in your nose and in your gut,” he said.

“Should somebody have a cold in your office, or even have gastroenteritis, you’re very likely to pick it up from a keyboard.”

Which computing editor Sarah Kidner advised users to give their computer “a spring clean”.

“It’s quite simple to do and could prevent your computer from becoming a health hazard,” she said.
