The All New Book Condom

I realize that the title for this post might be a little scandelous...so if you are offended then I am deeply sorry...but then again...maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive. :)

Anyway...I forgot to put this in my post last night...

So I was shopping at office depot for some stuff I needed for my classroom. I happened upon this product called "Stretchable Book Covers". It is a new product. Basically it is this huge silicon covering that fits over a text book. It is a pretty good idea...as the package states: it protects books, no cutting or taping required, easy to use, resuable, and hand washable! Since we have brand new science books I thought I might try this and see how it went. Well...as I was putting the cover onto the book it struck me that it was kind of like putting on a giant condom...now before mom and friends freak out...think about those movies you have seen where they are in a health class...the students are learning about safe sex and how to put a condom on...cut to the scene of the bananna and the condom...that is what it was like putting this cover on the book.

Anyway...it was extremely funny to me...but the cover works great and I might just get enough for my entire class! (for the class set of books...not for all my students)

One more funny thought...I was chatting online to a friend last night and related this story...he came up with a great one-liner for this story...."it is always important to practice safe science!" LOL...well...I thought it was funny anyway...hope you found some humor in it...

Got to run...Happy Tuesday!
