         Bangkok. Faced with a warehouse full of soon-to-expire
         condoms, the ingenious leaders of a Thai community
         development organization took the aging prophylactics,
         sealed them in plastic and attached a key ring with a
         tongue-in-cheek logo: "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass."
         They couldn't sell them fast enough.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.stanfordalumni.org/news/magazine/1999/julaug/articles/condoms.html"><P>My order of 10,000 key chains was scheduled to arrive
