Condom bill raises eyebrows


The Norwegian military has been taking a lot of heat lately, for budget overruns and questionable accounting practices. Now it's emerged that a bill from a leading condom retailer kicked up a fair amount of fuss last year.

"The bill has been accepted, and paid," confirmed General Major Egil Johansen, head of the military staff's personnel operations unit. He wouldn't comment much beyond that.

The bill, for NOK 2792 (about USD 460), came from the company called "Kondomeriet," which also runs a retail outlet on Oslo's main shopping street. It caused a stir when it opened in the early 1990s.
