Description
An account of the resource
This poster tells the story of a man who gets drunk, fails to use prophylaxis, and ends up with VD. Part of the "Rum and Women Just Don't Mix Series."
“Once there was a [man]. He thought he was a very smart [man] and said that the [posters] were just a lot of [smoke]. One night he got himself a [pass] and took a ride in a [bus] to the nearest [bar] for a couple of snorts of [rum]. Soon having had many snorts of [rum] he met a little [girl]. He was drunk and she was willing so he -- CENSORED!. It didn’t take long to find out that he had really met [clap] and [siff] all because he didn’t use a rubber and take a pro. He has to take treatment for 12 to 18 months or more. And now he knows he wasn’t such a smart [man] after all.”
