I’m not making it up. See this article on the CBC: [Condom manufacturer seeks Canadian volunteers to test products](http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/071022/K102208AU.html). > [@](#): > > TORONTO - A condom company is looking for 1,000 volunteers to test its products and report back on their findings. > > It opened the job competition Monday and will continue accepting applicants until Nov. 4. “Applicants will be asked a series of questions to make sure they are a good fit for this dream job,” the company said in a statement. > … > The testers will be sent a variety of products in the mail. They will have to log onto a website and provide feedback to the company, including what they liked and didn’t like. > > To get the job, the company is looking, in particular, for creative responses to the question about why they want to be a condom tester, Mare said. ---

Oh dear. I can see it now. “Honey, I know we needed a few extra dollars, so I got a part-time job. It should be fun…for both of us.” 😃 ---
