Arrested driver 'on condom mercy mission'
An Australian man caught driving without a licence told police he was on an urgent mission to deliver condoms his cousin.
The Northern Territory News reports magistrates in Darwin heard how 24-year-old Lee Collinson was pulled over by officers in October.
When asked why he was driving without a licence, he said: "My cousin was about to (have sex with) this girl and he needed his bum bag because it had his condoms in it."
Magistrate David Loadman said: "Carrying condoms to a mate who is in desperate need must be something much better than the good Samaritan ever did.
"I cannot imagine the scene. This woman, about to embrace passionately, is waiting for the condom arrival. Bizarre in the extreme."
He told Collinson: "When the Poms ask Australians to define mateship, your circumstances could serve as a very good example."
Collinson, of Darwin, was fined $100. Outside court he said: "I don't regret my actions and I would do it again. My cousin is like a brother to me.
"And at least he was practising safe sex. He was being responsible. He got the condoms and I think he had a good night."
And the dog ate his homework?
Once while hitchhiking in Ethiopia I was picked up by a condom delivery van transporting maybe about 20,000 US condoms. Naturally it made for plenty of wisecracks about feeling protected..

It'd be very nice to know the temp in the van and whether the condoms were stable to elevated van temps!
Ever heard of air-conditioning
It's a must in the desert, where I happened to be at the time.
Well, I have to say I cannot see what all the humour is about.
A clear case of need - a friend to fill that need - a need to fill a friend - and, clearly cause for hurry. Who would wish a friend to suffer blue balls?
You are all very strange...
Monger - I do wish you would give us a bit of a biography some day SOON - you seem to have led a most interesting life!
I can't think of a better reason for driving without a license!
Just Guessing...
Ceili,
I think it's what we call "fanny packs" or "hip packs" - they were really popular here about 8 or 10 years ago...
Know what I'm saying?
heehee - fanny tends to mean vagina here - hence the different name...
I do wish you people would learn to speak proper American.
