Ha, ha, ha!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Wyoming, some family found a condom in a glass of iced tea during a Mother\u2019s Day dinner. Did we not call this? We had a parody bit on this: &#8216;Safety Brew. The only beer with a condom in the bottle.\u2019 Where do you think they got the idea to do this? From us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quick!
