I was merrily rooting throught my parents drawers and found a condom, I opened it and of course was intrigued as to what it was, I asked my Dad and he said it was like a sock... so I wandered downstairs to my Mum and she saw what was in my hands and said 'What's that?' I said 'Dad says it's like a sock, he's so silly, where is the heel bit?'
