Are you kidding?

In the 1990's when I was going to college I would drive through Planned
Parenthood every trip home and they had brown paper bags full of condoms in
their lobby's atrium.  I would snatch about four or five bags of them then
drive back down to Columbia, KY where I went to school.  I would sell the
condoms for $1.00 a piece.  I always had extra gas money back then... I also
pimped out my vaccuum cleaner for $2.50 an hour... and ran a "store" of other
needful things out of my dorm room.  I had floppy disks, two typewriters I
rented... copier paper... you name it.

But then I was one of maybe 20 people allowed to have a car too.  

I did get called up on disciplinary charges at the school for the condoms and
argued against the disciplinary board that there is no way that you can stop
people from having sex... but we can't stop the spread of aids and other
diseases.  Since the small town did not have a wal-mart and the three
pharmacies would not sell condoms to the college students I was merely
providing necesary protection against diseases.  I technically did not make a
profit since it covered my gas to and from Louisville.

I thought I would have to leave college that day but surprisingly I won... and
got another scholarship with the agreement I would join the debate team.
