Tampax joke...

(boy, that should bring 'em here in here faster than....)

Two young boys walk into a local pharmacy one day, picked out a box of Tampax
and proceeded over to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight" The boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know how these are used?"
"Not exactly, but they're not for me.", the boy replied.
"Ah". responded the man as he began ringing up the box, "They must be for your mom or an older sister perhaps."
"Nope they're for my younger brother here, we saw on TV that if you use these you can swim or ride a bike, he is just four and he can't do either yet."

(Did anyone else here get the visual of a 4 yr old with his jeans rolled up to the knees wading out into a creek with multiple tampons tied to each of his belt-loops?)

only in America :patriot:

I'm reminded of Norman Rockwell paintings, I'm sure there's one of two young boys at the pharmacy somewhere

But this does remind me of a personal experience, which I probably shouldn't post, but it's on the same subject... I visited the USSR, just before it fell, as part of a peace group. And tampons or anything related is something that they just don't have there. I was pretty desperate, since I ran out, but couldn't do anything about it until we stopped in Finland, on the return home. I was told that I could find what I needed in the airport, in Helsinki, but I don't speak Finnish. A little Russian, but Finnish is Greek to me, LOL! So I spent about a half hour in this store in the airport, picking up packages, feeling them, squeezing them, perusing the pictures, just trying to figure out what they were, LOL! It turns out that I made some good choices, but what a nightmare! If you travel overseas, be prepared, because you never know!:D

I figured this would be a popular joke for the lounge....let's try it again for the later crowd and see.

It's from the money saving grocery thread around here. The person was talking about tamons and we ended up talking about douche products. Here's a link to that hilarious true story from when I was a kid.

Especially when your mom saw you about to use Miracle Grow with it!!! I wonder what the story from her perspective may have sounded like. (I knew my daughter wanted to up fast but.....)
What a great story, priceless. Thank you for sharing.

Throw it on the ground in tampon it!

You "neek" up on it.

So how do you hunt the "tame" rabbit?
Tame way of course.

Sheep.

look out for herds of elephants ...

:rofl: :rofl:

I was about six, and my reading abilities were way above my comprehension skills.

Mom came home from the supermarket with a ton of stuff. Included in the ton of stuff was a big box labeled "sanitary napkins". Naturally I understood "napkins", and knew that "sanitary" was a good thing. If you're going to use a napkin, you want it to be sanitary, right?

So I took them out of the box, one by one, and placed them carefully in the napkin holder on the dining room table.

Couldn't understand why my mom was so embarrassed, and why all my aunts seemed to be doubled over in gales of laughter. Geez, I just thought I was being helpful.

Another funny testimonial about the genius that resides in kid's. I am sure that your aunts remind your mom of that moment often enough: ".... that boy of yours takes "clean" to a whole new level, a whole new level indeed!", or ".... well you know they are much more absorbent than regular table napkins, maybe that kid of yours is on to something here..."
:rofl:

my mother told me she'd explain when I got older.

This is one of the most tasteless things I've read in the Lounge.

There are many "taboo" subjects in every culture, this is but one for ours. It was not my intention to soften that taboo, but to present a "cute" joke about 2 American boys. Do I feel that this joke would make it past the editors of Readers Digest? No. Do I feel that many of RD's readers would find this joke objectionable? Yes. On the other hand many of those readers would likely be able to see beyond the taboo and appreciate this joke as a reflection of Americana. This was how I first saw the joke...really...and this was why I posted it here. I figured that the big DU would weigh in heavy with those who could enjoy this as opposed to those who may have been offended.

Admittedly my opening line, (mis-worded too), may have been equally tasteless. It seems in the DU lounge that any "Brazilian" in a post's header will cause folks to shy away. On the other hand there are other references, (taboo innuendo for instance), which brings them in in droves. I figured that "Tampax" Joke header would do the latter.

I can see how you may find this "joke" tasteless BlueIris. I can respect that.

Is it easy to move, I wonder, with that broomstick up your....

never mind.

:rofl::rofl:

How funny!

once came down the stairs as a toddler with a huge grin.

"My feet feel grrrreat," he announced.

"Oh, yeah?" was the parental response.

"Super great," he explained.

The reason was later revealed as a maxi-pad shoved into each little sneaker. The fit was snug, but the comfort was aparently "remarkable." My own thought on this was that the absorbency might be an assist in sweaty foot problems. Don't know that it would cath on tho'.

I'm bookmarking this and showing it to the activities director(think I'm kidding).

Beavis with a bloody nose, and Butt-head standing outside the Maxi Mart women's restroom...

"Here's a quarter. Could you buy one of those things... that you put in your thing... when you, like, have your thing?"

lol
