I was walking back from Zorbas, where I had gotten a BLT, and I saw this trash on the sidewalk. It was the cardboard that a pre-paid phone card was attached to. I couldn’t believe the name! After doing a sexuality unit for class last year, I’m up on some of the sex-ed jargon. STD’s are no longer called that. I don’t know if it’s because there is an aversion to the word “disease”, or if it’s because some infections don’t necessarily express themselves as diseases. Whatever the case may be, STD’s are now called Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI). That’s why this phone card caught my eye. Their caption should read: “Share something special with a loved one.” Hahaha!
