I remember an old story which I strongly doubt is true, that dates from the cold war days. According to it, the Russians wanted to score a demoralizing blow to the Americans. They were said to have ordered 144 gross of condoms for their military and each condom was to be 12 inches long.

Our whiz kids were up to the challenge, they filled the order and labelled each box, "Size: medium"

I heard that story, too. I doubt the truth, also. But it's a good story.

I heard a somewhat different version, with the same punch line. Also doubt the veracity.

I also seriously doubt that this story is true. I spent some time in Russia during the Soviet days. At that time, most Russian men refused to wear condums. It was a macho thing: "that's her problem." Abortions were free and more frequent than anywhere else in the world.
