One fine day, three men representing three continents decided to hold a contest to find the manliest man on earth. Each contestant had to pass through three rooms: the first contained a thousand liters of liquor; the second, a ferocious lion; and the third, a lovely young woman.

To win, a contestant had to drink all the liquor, kill the lion, and be intimate with the woman a thousand times.

The American, proud of his unbeatable strength, went into the tiger's room first. Two days and three nights later, his body was carried out.

The Frenchman, proud of his romantic charm, went into the woman's room first. After the 231st time, his body was carried out.

Only the Vietnamese man remained. Clicking his tongue, he said, "I'll have a drink first and work out the rest later." After drinking the thousand liters, he staggered into the tiger's room.

The tiger roared and howled all day. The next morning, its body was carried out. The Vietnamese man staggered out, slurring, "I'm so drunk. Can anyone tell me where the tiger's room is?"

"No," her friend replied. "It's just a birth control pill. I have to be especially careful these days."

Curious, Rosie asked, "Didn't you tell me a few months ago that your husband had been diagnosed as infertile?"

Her friend sighed. "Exactly. That's why I have to be even more careful."

While waiting for the groom to finish showering, the bride had nothing to do. She took a dress from the wardrobe, held it against herself, and turned this way and that.

"Oh dear! Why is the color so dark and dull?" she exclaimed in disappointment.

Inside the bathroom, the groom started, his face burning.

"And it's all wrinkled, darling!"

His face turned from red to purple. He was so furious that he couldn't speak.

"Let's see... Good heavens! It's terribly short, too. I don't think it'll fit me!" she concluded.

Unable to stand it any longer, the groom kicked the door open and stormed out of the bathroom naked.

"You have no respect for me at all!" he roared. "I told you not to peek when I'm showering!"

A husband was leaving on a business trip the next day. After carefully packing his clothes and belongings, his thoughtful wife took a box of condoms from the cupboard and handed him three.

"Take these. You may need them."

Delighted by her thoughtfulness, he hugged and kissed her. "Why not give me the whole box? What if three aren't enough?"

Firmly, she put the box back. "No! There are only five left. I have to keep them at home in case I need some too!"

Her husband was speechless.
