It’s tough job, but someone has to do it

Condomtester You know, I figured condoms had to be tested, but I always thought they used machinery or something. Turns out I was wrong. Durex Australia is putting out ads seeking “product testers.” Durex promises that this “sexecutive position” (groan) “really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex.” Can’t blame their forced cheekiness, as anyone who volunteers for this job would use it every day to chat up women. Testers don’t get paid, but they do get free condoms, and one lucky bastard gets $1,000 for his troubles. If you’re interested, and an Aussie, go to Durex’s Web site and fill out an application. Keep in mind that while humor is a plus, “missionary” jokes are only funny for so long.
