What's incomplete? 199.27.130.180 04:13, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- It seems fine to me. Removing the incomplete tag. LogicalOxymoron (talk) 23:19, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
What's "the alternative"? 108.162.208.98 20:55, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- I believe when the alternate Cueball references "the alternative" he has already realized what the first Cueball meant. Cueball 2 I'll call him, is thus referencing the alternative is no protection or security. I don't believe Cueball 2 is directly referencing the 'teacher wearing a condom analogy'.

- A condom is designed to fit, & will only stay in place, on an erect penis. I would be concerned if I was a parent & I discovered that my child's teacher had an erection during class, especially given the inference that the erection isn't inadvertent if it can last throughout a school day. This does tie into the metaphor because, of course, a condom's main job is to catch ejaculation when orgasm is achieved, just as a voting machine does have to connect to another computer in order to receive OS updates & download voting tallies. 211.30.60.87 14:08, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Well, there's always the possibility of untreated priapism. Though you probably should treat it, if you're being sensible about that kind of thing.
- Also, depends upon the size of the condom and the size of the (unerect) penis. The latter varies considerably, and (for [various possible reasons]) there are different 'size ranges' available, though each range covers a large span of smallest-practical to largest-practical when it comes to coverage. Conceivably you might find one that only (or most comfortably?) snuggly fits when not erect, and is being worn for some totally good (medical) reason that doesn't involve erectness but does involve the penis. Or whatever body part you instead wear it on, there being plenty of alternate uses that might apply, in certain circumstances. 92.23.2.228 19:37, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

- I think the alternative is the teacher being raped at school. That's right, Jacky720 just signed this (talk | contribs) 22:05, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

- It's not necessarily that the teacher is raping the students, but it does indicate the teacher might be having sex at school (for instance, with another colleague). --172.68.57.209 13:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Ideally, there should be no voting machines. Here in Germany, we make a cross on a paper and put that paper in an urn. Counting is done manually under supervision. Voting machines are illegal for a reason. :) --141.101.104.4 15:05, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
