    Wait till they hear about the genius trick with the Trojan horse

    “Why would they take it in! It’s literally named after their city being sneak attacked!”

      This makes me think about Trojan condoms. That’s quite the name, because the Trojan horse was used to sneak men into Troy. So where and what sneaking is the Trojan condoms doing?

        Common misunderstanding. The Trojan horse is named after the city it attacked, and the condoms are named after the Trojans - that’s not the Greeks, but the guys who held the wall and got slaughtered. That’s your dick if the wall falls, the other side is the Greeks.

        Anyone who hasn’t had to go fishing for a “lost” condom on occasion either lives in the mother’s basement or seldom has sex that needs the use of condoms. Or perhaps both.

        My wife still swears our 3rd daughter was the result of a lost trojan condom.
