Forgot Condoms? Ask the Cabby
AND FINALLY ...
*
A Norwegian taxi company is scoring an offbeat success for safe sex by handing out free condoms to any passenger who asks.
“We’ve had an incredible demand. People are not shy,” said Paul Erik Bergmann of Horten & Borre taxi firm in southern Norway.
A sign on the back of the driver’s seat reads: “Forgot condom? Ask the driver!”
Bergmann said his company’s 20 taxis had handed out 300 condoms in two weeks. There are no age limits and no questions asked.
“Some want to have a condom in their pocket just in case. Others need one right away,” he said, adding, “They have to wait until they get home.”
