Damn you. As if your flagrant waste of electricity was not enough.

This morning I had to walk into the bathroom to find a used jimmy on the floor.  
At first I felt bad, because I thought briefly that it could be mine.

Then I realized I did not, in fact, have sex in the bathroom last night.

And having only one roommate kind of narrows down the list of suspects.  
Garr!! _shakes fist_

Ick, don’t touch it!!

Personally, I would put four tiny orange cones around it, with itty bitty hazard tape strung around them. A diminutive “biological hazard” sign would be a nice touch as well.

Drop on his face while he’s sleeping. Use tweezers to pick it up, if you’re concerned about germs and whatnot.

whatnot? WHATNOT? I wouldn’t be so worried about what’s inside the condom, but Good Lord, who knows what’s on the outside!!! Where’s my Hazmat suit? 😃
