Rueters story...... For Fair use Standard Condoms Too Big for Germans?

BERLIN (Reuters) - A study has found that the standard European Union size of condom is often too big for German men, a magazine reported Sunday. Focus magazine said a study by leading German condom manufacturer Condomi found standard-sized condoms falling off half of the men studied.

``The average German penis is about 3.5 to 4 millimeters (0.13 to 0.15 inches) too narrow for the standard EN 600 condom,'' the magazine wrote. The EU set the EN 600 guidelines for rubber condoms in 1996 to establish a uniform standard across Europe.

I'm just being facetious, but this must be a huge embrassment to the Master Race that de fuhrer was trying to design! (Sorry, I just couldn't resist that.....no offense to anyone of German extraction; I'm one, too.)

Even more interesting when you consider the size-impaired would have been less likely to allow themselves to have been measured, skewing the German average even higher than it really is. I'd expect some serious head-hanging (no pun intended) in Germany. I'd be long (no pun intended) Pfizer right now, as German imports of Viagra are about to soar.
