A fellow was going on a tour of a factory that produces various latex products.
At the first stop, he is shown the machine that manufactures baby-bottle nipples.
The machine made a loud ‘hiss-pop!
’ noise.
“The hiss is the rubber being injected into the mold,” explained the guide.
“The popping sound is a needle poking a hole in the end of the nipple.”
Later, the tour reached the part of the factory where condoms were manufactured.
The machine made a noise:
“Hiss.
Hiss.
Hiss.
Hiss-pop!
”
“Wait a minute!
” said the man taking the tour.
“I understand what the ‘hiss, hiss’ is, but what’s that ‘pop!
’ every so often?”
“Oh, it’s rather like the baby-bottle nipple machine,” said the guide, “but here the needle pokes a hole in every fourth condom.”
“Well, that can’t be good for the condoms!
”
“No,” the guide said, “but it’s great for the baby-bottle nipple business!
”
