03.26.2003:Cheaper by the dozen

It was sometime between midnight and one o'clock in the morning; there was ice cream — Ben and Jerry's Half Baked, to be exact — to be purchased. So we were in line, waiting to pay.

On the conveyer belt, just before our lone pint of ice cream, were sprawled the items of two tame, on-the-dorky-side college boys, attempting not to look anyone directly in the eye.

Items as follows: one box of sushi (12 pieces), 12 glo-sticks (red, white and blue) and one large box of condoms (Trojan, lubricated).

I'm not very good at not giggling at crucial moments.

i can't imagine how those items could be combined into 12 fun occassions... but i'm certainly curious.
