This is when I wish I hadn’t bunked gym at school

Posted at 8:29am on Tuesday, July 20th, 2004

At the Albertville winter Olympics, condom machines in the athletes� village had to be refilled every two hours. And in Sydney the organisers� original order of 70,000 condoms went so fast that they had to order 20,000 more. Even with the replenishment, the supply was exhausted three days before the end of the competition schedule. Salt Lake City in 2002 went even bigger: 250,000 condoms were handed out, despite the objections of the city�s Mormon leadership.
