The Russian President Vladimir Putin called Barack Obama with an emergency request
“Mr President, we need help. Our largest condom factory has exploded,” the Russian President explained. “My people now have no method of birth control! This is a true disaster!”
“Vladimir,” said Obama, “the American people would be happy to do anything within their power to help you.”
“We do need your help,” said Putin.
“Could you possibly send one million condoms to tide us over?” “No problem, I’m on it,” said Obama.
“Oh, and one more small favour, please?” said Putin. “Yes?” said Obama.
“Can you supply the condoms red in colour and at least ten inches long and four inches in diameter?”
“No problem,” replied Obama, and with that, he hung up and called the CEO of Durex. “I need a favour, you’ve got to make one million condoms right away and send them to Russia.”
“Consider it done,” said the CEO of Durex.
“Great! Now listen, they have to be red in colour, ten inches long and four inches wide.”
“Easily done. Anything else?”
“Yes,” says Obama. “Print ‘MADE IN USA, SIZE MEDIUM’ on each one.”
