    Protection

    I saw something today while down on the Exe Estuary that gives protection a whole new meaning.
    A Birder came off the mud flats carrying his tripod and telescope on his shoulder. Hanging off the ends of the tripods three feet were three condoms - no doubt protection from the mud.

                They do, I bought them to use as disposable lens covers for my 500, if it rains I can pull one over the body too, Stan mentioned you could use them as overshoes and I have once, bought them off eBay in bulk (100). Have a couple in my bag in case needed, obviously you cannot walk miles in them, but the odd puddles or mud they cover the bottom of your feet.



                See what I mean

                    And when Stalin requested condoms for his troops to cut down on diseases, Churchill got Durex to produce extra extra large sizes and marked them as small to make the Russians troops feel inferior.
