This is for my Australian readers out there, especially those of you who are seeking to improve your resume .. the Australian division of Durex condom makers is seeking 200 men and women to test their condoms and to provide honest feedback regarding the performance of the condoms. To select their researchers, Durex is having a little writing contest; potential research applicants are asked write a short letter as to why they are best suited to the role. Winners will receive free packs of condoms and will be entered into a drawing for A$1,000 ($854; £425).
"With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex," said Durex marketing manager Sam White.
So, I can already imagine what the new Aussie pick-up line will be. "Hey babe, wanna come to my place and help me carry out some condom research?"
Now, all my Aussie pals can't say that I am not looking out for their best interests!

In Australia, when I were a lad, "durex" was the trade name for a brand of adhesive tape. Many funny stories followed when Australians went to the UK, where this product was better known...
That sounds very very painful; even worse than the shock an American would get when he opened his pack of rubbers purchased in the UK.
