That reminds me of the old joke about when Stalin asked Churchill for condoms during the war.

Churchill asked "What size do your troops need?"

"Extra large."

Churchill ordered that they send the Soviets a copious amount of large ones, but he said to label them, "Texas Small."

Yeah, well, I meant rubber, not rubbers. If someone is using condoms for fuel, that would be pretty funny too, give the phallic nature of rockets...
