    Default The Strange History of the CONDOM .... Believe it or Not ...?

    CONDOM HISTORY - An interesting piece of history!

    In 1272, the Arabs invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.

    In 1873, the English somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

    Default Miems - wat dink jy van hierdie een?

    Die blond vlieg in 'n private charter plane van Lanseria na Kaapstad.

    So halfpad val die loods dood neer.

    Die blondie is baie gerattle en gryp die radio se mikrofoontjie terwyl sy voor inspring langs die loods.

    Sy praat met 'n bewerige stemmetjie.

    "Mayday mayday - help asb!"

    "Die loods het omgekap en ek kan nie 'n vliegtuig bestuur nie!"

    Beheerkamer se operateur is koel en kalm en antwoord met 'n rustige stem.

    "Kalmeer dame, ek sal jou deur die proses neem, stap vir stap. Gee my jou
    hoogte en posisie."

    Die blond sug van verligting en antwoord: "Ek is 1.73m lank en ek sit op die regter voorste sitplek"

    'n Oomblik se stilte volg waarna die operateur antwoord.

    "Se agter my aan: ....... " .... Onse Vader wat in die hemel is..."

    This got me thinking - so I googled "history of the condom"

    WOW!! Wikipedia - notes that in Japan (a loooong time ago) condoms were made from things such as tortoise shell and animal horns (Eina!)

    This article notes that condoms made from animals' intestines were considered to be "an armour against pleasure, and a cobweb against infection".
