Imagine How Cheap Condoms Are For NYC
Last night, thanks to the hard work of NBC 10, we learned that the prison system gives out free condoms to inmates in order to prevent HIV. NBC 10 presented this as a mini-scandal, as, y’know, we wasted a lot of money on the condoms and prisoners aren’t supposed to be having sex. Erhm. The city also didn’t waste that much money for condoms. According to the health department, the 8,000 condoms cost the city $360. Which means… hold on, it’s time for some third-grade math!
Damn. Only 22.2222222… cents a condom! That’s, honestly, quite a deal. Good use of bargaining power, City of Philadelphia. I wonder if it’s cheaper than caring for an inmate who has HIV? City Giving Free Condoms To Male Prisoners [NBC 10] |

Dude, try again. It’s 4.5 cents per condom. I know it makes your point even stronger, but aren’t you embarrassed?
Penn, right?
I’d fix it but I’m out of post-it notes. (Plus, who the hell can divide 8000 into 360?!)
Anyway, I intentionally get all of the math wrong on this site so I don’t have to worry about making any stupid mistakes. Or I actually made a huge mistake. Which one’s funnier?
22 condoms per dollar doesn’t sound too bad.
