  Standard Rubber Inc. has a new CEO and decides to tour all the factories. She is greatly pleased with the factory that turns out galoshes. She is bored to tears to visit the plant that makes all the little feet that fit on the bottom of consumer electronics. She even visits the plant that makes small rubber figures that come out of gumball machines even if she doesn't know the popular kids shows that the resemble.
  One day she visits a plant in Ohio where they make condoms and baby nipples. She notices something disturbing during the tour. The baby nipple seems perfectly normal. Being a mother herself she understands the little nipples that have to go on baby bottles and just how many that you go through when you are a parent. It's a very lucrative business even if it isn't very exciting.
  The thing she notices is a problem with the condom line. They have red, blue, flavored, glow-in-the-dark, every condom variety that she could think of. She notices how ever that every tenth condom goes into a stamping machine. A closer inspection reveals that there is a small needle on the machine. It pierces a hole in the condom.
  She pulls the plant manager aside and asks, "What's this machine doing? Is this some sort of quality assurance testing?"
  The plant manager drops his head and sheepishly responds, "Well, we don't want the nipple business to suffer. Do we?"
