Hey, I'm all for helping the poor AND buying stuff from Goodwill. I just draw the line at potentially used marital aids...
That being said, if a brand new one was donated, packaging and all, that I could see as being acceptable in certain situations. Can you just imagine an "adults only" room at a Goodwill shop?
My grandmother has one of those footbath things that have "soothing vibrations". One day, mom was in the kitchen cooking dinner and I was having my coffee and reading in the living room. All of a sudden I hear a faint <wrrrrrr> from the breezeway (where my grandmother's sitting) and an exclamation of "OH! This vibrator is so lovely!"
Mom: almost drops roasting pan
Me: *spit-take, almost choke trying not to laugh my ass off*
An image neither of us really needed just prior to dinner, but a horribly amusing one nonetheless.

Somehow I doubt Goodwill would get enough of those to make an adults-only room worthwhile.
So they would just end up on the shelves with everything else, possibly leading to a situation in which a small child rushes up to mommy or daddy with his/her find and exclaims "Lookit this neat toy I found! Can I get it PLEEEEEEAAAASE! I can use it as a (paperweight, dog toy, action figure...)

Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry Raps, don't kill me, I know this could go in "check this out" but it's SO thread centric, I HAD to put it here. Pardon my head sir
Irving, I have to say....your "thread jacked" smiley was one of the funniest things I have seen in DAYS. (Not counting of course that part of the morning where I have to look in the mirror.....)
"The Customer Is Always Right...But The Bartender Decides Who Is Still A Customer."
Good lord! Just how many SP fans do we have on this board! Every time I turn around, there's someone else. I knew it was well-read, but this is just crazy!
Okay, hands up for those of you who are regular SP readers! (Hint: If you have no idea what I'm talking about? You aren't.)
"The Customer Is Always Right...But The Bartender Decides Who Is Still A Customer."
Heh heh....further off topic:
My sister is a nurse in a cath lab. Typically during angioplasties or angiograms, they thread the catheter up through the femoral artery in the groin up to the heart. Of course, that means prepping the area of entry and keeping it sterile. So, after she's cleaned the area and shaved it, she'll tell the male patients, "Ok, don't touch there, or you'll go blind," which makes them laugh and relax a little.
Well, she got in a legally blind guy one day, and she didn't know, and after she did her little schpiel, he got an evil smile on his face and replied, "too late!" She was a lil' embarrassed.
I worked in a porn shop for almost a year, and I cannot tell you the weird stuff people came up with... It's a lucky thing I'm a psych student, because in addition to retail clerk, I was apparently also "Resident Sex Therapist". I disabused many a boyfriend of the notion that his girlfriend would leave him for a vibrator. Vibrators, while enjoyable, are not good conversationalists, and their snuggling and dinner-buying skills are sadly lacking...
I have to say, while I'm glad I live in a time and culture where sexuality is relatively open, some people take it too far. Just be glad somebody didn't drop a buttplug on the counter with the phrase "This thang's too small..." *twitch* I think I went through a case of Lysol on that counter... Eeeeew.....

LONG time SP reader(I got into it around the Salem/Wiccan baiting storyline)... Love it to death. Met the writer once at a con. Nice guy... don't spread that around though, it'll ruin his image...
Other than that, not much to contribute to the thread.

Reason: Realized what I said made little to no sense.
