A letter ... and a request for paraphernalia

This comes from a friend of mine who's about to take a journey. Names and countries (ahem) are left out to protect the individuals in question ...

Hey!

I have a favor to ask: Can I request a few things for
you to bring with you? Any or all of them
would be nice, it's just stuff I can't get around
here. And I will of course reimburse you.

They are:
1) A box of Trojan ultra-thin condoms without
monoxnyl-9 (I'll give you the full scoop later)
2) A big bag of Skittles
3) A glass pipe, like the small one I used to have
- it should be unused and put into your
luggage, and there should be no problem

Cheers,

****

So yeah.

That's what this person wants.

Seriously?

He can't get condoms? How weird is that?

I think, as a gesture of goodwill, my friend should definitely bring the condoms and the skittles, but screw the pipe.

That's what I think.
