European Survey: Which European Men Need The Largest, Er, Raincoat?
I’m not making this up.
Apparently someone with a lot of time on their hands or a rather good sense of humor asked men across Europe to, er, measure the size of condoms they need.
The results?
The French win. The Greeks lose:
BERLIN — The French say they need the largest condoms in Europe while Greeks get by on smaller ones, according to a Europe-wide study by a German consultancy that provides advice on condoms.
The study by the Singen-based Institute of Condom Consultancy was done by asking 10,500 men in 25 countries to measure their penis and enter the number into a database.
The results show Frenchmen on average claim to need 15.48 centimeters (6.09 inches) long condoms, about 3 centimeters longer than Greeks, whose condom size requirement was the most modest.
Jan Vinzenz Krause, the Institute’s director, told Reuters on Friday the data was collected over a period of eight months.
If I were the Greeks I’d be sort of miffed about the way this turned out, but that aside - I’m sort of wondering just what degree of honesty was involved in the reporting of the results, and apparently so is the author of the survey:
He did not want to comment on how honest he thought the Frenchmen had been in reporting the data.
I mean, no guy would ever, uh, stretch the truth on this issue.
Would they?
