ALOHA FRIDAY
February 10, 2012


It's Aloha Friday.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?

Aloha kakou,
All stocked up for Valentines Day? Got your flowers? Box of candy? Nice diamond bracelet or diamond necklace or diamond earrings?
Well then, you're almost ready. You just have to buy your KY jelly and your value pack of Trojans.
That's what my Sunday newspaper was pushing this past weekend. In the smaller insert with tons of coupons for things like potato chips, dip, toothpaste and miracle bras . . . was a full-page ad urging you not to forget to get your lubricating jelly and your condoms. And they suggested buying the Value Pack (36 ct) of condoms. Instead of a Happy Valentine's Day they wished you a Happy Valentine's Week. Thirty-six condoms in a week? Not even when I was eighteen years old could I have handled that.
Date night now seems, at least according to this manufacturer, to have a slightly different meaning. When I was about eighteen I did keep a condom in my wallet (left a round circle and was all dried out by the time I took it out of my wallet). But these guys seem to be suggesting that you carry not only a whole lot of condoms, but also a couple of tubes of KY jelly (if you're truly sensitive to her feelings, bring the Yours and Mine package).
And the upside to this matter? If you buy 2 of these select products, you'll get a $10 Target Gift-Card.
You know, if you're the kind of person who buys and uses 36-count packs of condoms on a regular basis, maybe you'd rather have a free STD test. For now they don't provide those at Target.

Okay folks, see you next week.
