“Large or small?” she asked, looking up. This threw me completely. “Large,” I said. To be clear, I’m not making any claims for myself here, but I wasn’t going to say “small”, was I? Even in an empty shop. But then she asked: “Large or extra-large?”

“All right then, extra-large,” I spluttered, starting to think it might be some kind of wind-up.

It was only as I walked out that it dawned on me the poor woman was referring to the size of the box, not to any part of my anatomy. I’d only gone and depleted my student grant buying a bumper box of 48 condoms. I wandered back to my room dazed, confused and even more apprehensive about everything than I was before I’d boarded the bus an hour earlier.

2. There are sizes of condoms, or at least there are regular and large (magnum)

Stocking up 48 condoms in bulk, at college?

Sounds both confident AND prudent.

I approve
