Cure or Disease?

A condom serves as a very fine balloon,though a small protrusion is at the top, when filled with helium and attached to a string.  (see side bar re: sex in raincoats)  It was suggested they be worn in tandem for there proper function (military redundancy!) though the twice daily VD sick call testified to either a very high failure rate or improper usage.  The Balloons were quite amusing.

Malaria pills were offered as a palliative against this disease. The cereal bowl full of them at the end of the chow line  we were told may me taken one per week if we desired to be assured of not contracting the disease. The diarrhea experienced by the end of the third week  was the uninformed certainty that stopped all but the most compulsive pill taker.  I decided they were there for the amusement of the experienced.
