Did you know there are condom vending machines in Italy? There are. Right along the busy streets, next to Louis Vuitton and a myriad of lingerie stores.
Every time we saw one of the condom-dispensing machines, we joked about buying some. We finally went for it. In went five Euro. Out came a pack of six condoms.
Definitely worth the money spent. (That’s what she said.)
That is great. I have heard that they have condom vending machines in some men’s rooms here. You would think you would put them in the ladies room also.
I love that it is right there on the street!

Neil cracks me up! His expressions here are classic!

AAHHH!!! That is great!
This is no where near as shocking but reading this reminded me of the toothbrush / fortune telling vending machine I deposited coins into in Santiago, Chile. The little paper that you usually find in a fortune cookie was wrapped around a travel sized brush. Very humorous. Fresh breath to face your future I guess.
I am with Birgit - Neil’s expressions are priceless!

“fresh breath to face your future” - something we all need, i guess… :)

This is so funny! I have seen those in ladies restrooms to, but on the street for all to see is even better! Dan once bought some at a grocery store and the man ringing him up thanked him for paying for them, he said most guys just steal them because it’s too awkward to pay for them. I would think a man would love to buy a pack of
those, especially in balk!! Did they have an option of a single or six pack, or extra large size, or ribbed for her pleasure? Or hey where there colors or maybe even flavors!?
Ok I think I might have gone to far on that one, anyways I love the pictures and the thought of condoms going hand in hand with the rest of your trendy shopping. Hey did you pick up any trashy lingerie from any of the European stores?

Cool, an ACM (read A-CEE-M). Does it take credit/bank cards? Patti would have been equally humored by the ACMs. I would not have posed like Niel tho…

Loved the pictures. Neil is a very cool dude.
Having a condom vending machine outside a lingerie store does make sense. A guy could use the vending machine while his wife is shopping for something sexy.
I won’t ask if you did any shopping while Neil was using the vending machine.

Sorry for misspelling Niel’s name. I keep thinking of Neil Young and Neil Armstrong.

faith — i can always count on you to get my jaw to drop! nope, no lingerie purchases for me. why waste money on something that just gets taken right off? i’m just sayin.
ric — ACM! that’s perfect!
amy joy/brandy/faith — we got the “ultimate package” (that’s what she said) boxed set of seasons 1-4. we’ve been s-l-o-w-l-y working our way through them… we’re still only on season 2 i think. eventually we’ll finish. in the meantime, we’re enjoying the giggles.

Five euro!
sheesh.
Strange that they’re on the street. Mildly awkward placement, if I do say so myself.
