Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Unflavored condoms taste terrible. Even the flavored ones usually taste terrible. If the choice is between "that tastes awful, but I have to use it to give you a BJ" and "You don't get a BJ", guess which one wins?
Flavored condoms that taste good would solve many problems. Perkins, can you get on that?
eta oh, also? I'm allergic to latex. That's not going in my mouth no matter what it tastes like. Just sayin'.

Even more opportunities for "That's House." "No, it's not." "Yes, it is." "No! Well, maybe--no!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How do credit card companies discover abnormal spending patterns? A guy at work had his card/number stolen while he was on vacation, and they called him about the charges in location C, not on location A or B where he was travelling to (which are distinct from where he actually lives). How do they know that?
Also, has anyone here noticed their card/info stolen without the CC company telling them?

When my check card was appropriated a few years ago, I noticed it first when I saw a few $20 entries for Second Life appear on the checking account when I was doing my daily look at the bank's website. That was Thursday, and the bank couldn't do anything about those entries until they went from "pending" to "final." Then, on Monday morning at 8:00 am, I got a call at home from the bank telling me that over $1000 in charges got put on my card on Sunday and that sent up their "fraud" flag. Since I already was on record complaining about those small Second Life charges a few days earlier, they gave me no problems about the obvious fraud and cancelled my account immediately.

I have a couple of times. Usually when the CC company calls me it's because I've gone on my first vacation in a long time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
