No Glove, No Spread of Infectious Disease

Last week I had a lot of fun with StopAIDS, a society on campus that promotes AIDS awareness and raises money for charitable organizations.

On Thursday, everyone met up for a cake bake. The society had a bake sale on Friday, so we had to make all the yummy treats for patrons and passerbys. Because of space limitations in the kitchen, most of us were preparing condoms taped to candy and info flyers with facts about AIDS. About a thousand of these babies were handed out on Saturday night at the Big Cheese, a popular club night at the student union. We all dressed in red (coats, stockings, dresses, facepaint, etc) and handed out condoms/candy to people in the queue. They went surprisingly quickly! Everyone was eager to learn about AIDS and safe sex. (More likely they wanted a piece of candy.) After passing out condoms for about 2 minutes (seriously, hundreds of condoms in 2 minutes!!), we headed up to the club to dance to cheesy music like Spice Girls and *NSYNC (they don't call it the Big Cheese for nothing).

P.S. Did anyone notice the inaccuracy in the title of this post? I sure didn't for a few hours.
