Two elderly women were sitting at a bus stop on a rainy day, smoking and chatting as droplets fell around them. When the rain grew heavier, one of the women took out a small plastic sheath, clipped an end, and covered the tip of her cigarette, keeping it dry. Her companion was amazed and asked what she used.
“It’s a condom,” the woman replied plainly. “It works great for keeping cigarettes dry, and you can buy a box at any pharmacy.” The friend was intrigued and said she’d get some on her next visit to pick up her medicine.
At the pharmacy, she confidently requested condoms at the counter. The young pharmacist, startled but polite, asked about size preference. She answered with a straight face, “Give me one big enough to fit a camel’s nose.”
The pharmacist hesitated, then found the humor in her words and couldn’t help but smile. The story of her honest request quickly traveled through the community, bringing smiles and laughter.
It became a reminder that clever solutions and good humor have no age limit, showing how a rainy day, a small trick, and a dash of innocence can create unforgettable moments.
