Q: What’s the difference between the 1960's and the 2000's?

A: In the 1960's, a guy goes into a chemist shop and shouts, “Give me a packet of cigarettes!” … and then whispers to the shop assistant, “Oh, and slip in a packet of condoms, too.”

In the 2000's, a guy goes into a chemist shop and shouts, “Give me a box of condoms!” … and then whispers to the shop assistant, “Oh, and slip in a packet of cigarettes, too.”

When I was 15 I worked in a Chemist men would come in and when asked what they wanted by a young girl would ask for a tube of toothpaste or something else they really didnt want. The braver of them would ask to speak to the Pharmacist who was of course a man.As it was obvious that they wanted condoms it would have been less embarrassing just to ask for them.Oh how tjmes have changed.

French letters calling them by a real name would have caused a proper stir all nod and a wink keeping the pudding club from growing.
