The Best Thing About the IMF is Free Tampons
I don’t hang out at the International Monetary Fund a whole lot, but I was there recently for a meeting, and boy, was I in for a treat in their women’s room: free feminine hygiene products! It’s big enough news when those little machines even function, but this one gives it out without even taking your money. I have to admit I took more than I needed. In fact, I have to admit I didn’t need any.
Is this how they make up for structural adjustment? I’ll take it!

I remember growing up in NYC that some government buildings dispensed freely of combs in the men’s room.

Regardless of your feelings on the IMF, it should be apparent that stealing tampons from an organization dedicated to stopping world hunger sets the cause back and makes you look like an idiot.

I have to echo LitLegit’s point. Even stealing (and stealing is what you did, as you didn’t actually have a need for the product) a handful of tampons probably denied several hungry children in Africa a day’s worth of HIV drugs. Moreover, it’s ridiculous that you think free bathroom products in a public bathroom is all that unusual. Tanya, can we please try to make our next post insightful or at least mildly interesting for a change?
