Yesterday was a pretty blue day for me. My heart was (and still is) hurting for WiseGuy, and I was feeling pretty low emotionally. So it was a huge blessing when I got an email from my mom last night that made me laugh my ass off. She sent it because she thought I needed a giggle, and I want to share it with you all, because laughter brings so much healing.
Keep in mind that this is a Canadian joke. I don't mean it to be insulting to anyone, and it could easily be told the opposite way and be just as funny... maybe ;)
Condom Emergency
The largest condom factory in the States burned down. President Obama was awakened at 4 am by telephone.
"Sorry to bother you at this hour, Sir, but there is an emergency! I've just received word that the Durex factory in Washington has burned to the ground. It is estimated that the entire USA supply of condoms will be gone by the end of the week."
Obama: "Oh damn! The economy will never be able to cope with all those unplanned babies. We'll be ruined. We'll have to ship some in from Mexico ."
Telephone voice says, "Bad idea... The Mexicans will have a field day with this one. We'll be a laughing stock. What about Canada ?"
Obama: "Okay, I'll call Stephen Harper and tell him we need five million condoms, ten inches long and three inches thick. That way, they'll continue to respect us as Americans."
Three days later, a delighted President Obama ran out to open the first of the 10,000 boxes that had just arrived.
He found five million condoms, 10 inches long and 3 inches thick, just as requested... all colored with red maple leaves with small writing on each one:
'MADE IN CANADA - SIZE MEDIUM'
AHAHAHA that's fantastic! Thanks for the laugh, hon. My heart is just SO sad for Wise Guy. The only thing I can hope for is that she can feel all the love being sent to her.
