Right out of a headline of unbelievable news, the Center for Disease Control issued a warning against using condoms more than once. Yes, you read that right.
Enough people are washing out and reusing condoms that the CDC felt it necessary to issue a warning reminding people not to do this. Condoms are only effective if used correctly to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STD's.
We say it because people do it: Don't wash or reuse #condoms! Use a fresh one for each #sex act.… https://t.co/TbRuoTeale— CDC STD (@CDC STD) 1532389502.0
Although the message is a serious one, the responses were hysterical.

@CDCSTD What about using one that someone else has used, or is that not good either?— Alex (@Alex) 1532477103.0
Some folks just couldn't get past the idea that this needed to be said.
