After read­ing that the Lon­don Olympics Orga­niz­ing Com­mit­tee is giv­ing out a record 150,000 con­doms for use dur­ing the 2012 Olympics, I feel it’s my respon­si­bil­ity to give the ath­letes some advice on behav­ior to avoid, so they can actu­ally use those multi-colored rubbers.

01. Alco­hol and the Olympic torch have always been a recipe for dis­as­ter.  (Google Leroy Huck­le­berry and the Great Fire of Annis­ton, Alabama that burned down the Foxy Lady Lounge in 1988.)

02. Swim­mers who wear their gog­gles to bed.  (No one likes to feel like their being shagged by a crea­ture from the deep–not even from behind.)

03. Fencers who use their foil or sabre to carve their dig­its into the torso of a poten­tial part­ner.  (Bloody hell! … literally).

04. Never assume that just because a table ten­nis player uses a pad­dle (racket), doesn’t mean he’s into spank­ing.  (Ask some prob­ing ques­tions to feel him out, like what he thinks about cor­po­ral punishment.)

05. Just because you spike a ball on the vol­ley­ball court, doesn’t mean you should spike his balls in the bed­room. (FOUL!)

06. It’s best not to try to mount an eques­trian in the same way that you mount the pom­mel horse (espe­cially if you haven’t intro­duced yourself).

07. Don’t joke about him hav­ing a javelin in his pocket or being happy to see you.  (You might be right on both accounts, but you’ve blown your chance with a corny cliche.)

08. Just because a syn­chro­nized swim­mer stands on her head in the deep end of the pool, doesn’t mean that you need to let your imag­i­na­tion run away with you.  (She has remark­able lung capac­ity, not nec­es­sar­ily con­trol over her gag reflex.)

09. Share the pics that you took with your mobile phone of you get­ting down with the Olympic mas­cot in a hot and heavy furry action.  (And remem­ber, it’s not just on Face­book, it’s FOREVER.)

10. For­mer Olympic ath­letes who thrash around on the dance floor of the dis­cotheque and bruise their neigh­bors with the gold, sil­ver, and/or bronze medals they’re wear­ing around their necks.  (Hello, color me desperate!)
