Mobile phones: a condom substitute...

Catholic women in Poland are signing up to receive text messages warning them not to have sex. The contraception advice service texts them when they are ovulating and at their most fertile to cut the number of unwanted pregnancies.

Poland is 90 per cent Catholic, so this could become a rather popular service. We await the Pope’s thoughts on what will probably be called ‘contratextion'..!

Reminds me of the old joke:

What do you call people who practice the rhythm method of birth control?

Humph, that is SO 20th century!

Here's how I would do it:

When the fertile time comes around, the phone just switches itself from ringer to vibrator mode.

Then there was the old joke about the Italian woman living in Britain who was told about the ban on contraception included in the latest load of Papal bull. Her response was "He no play-a da game, he no make-a da rules!"

Well, it tickled my sense of humour.

Please notice, ladies of the board, that with the possible exception of slithy toves, this entire thread has been the men of the board, making jokes about contraception, and getting pregnant! Harrumph®! Whom do I pay royalties to for that one?

Post edit...I have since discovered, that slithy toves is indeed male!
