You are indeed evil, you bowl of Middle Eastern salad you, for 
putting these evil, evil thoughts in my head!  (And this from 
someone who ALWAYS avoids any fics that imply that Dumbledore is 
anything but completely asexual!)  I was chuckling over the condom 
line because it truly seems in the spirit of Dumbledore quotes, such 
as the one about Aberforth (practicing inappropriate charms on a 
goat) which beg to have the backstory told.  I included something of 
this nature in a fic of mine wherein Dumbledore is saying, "I once 
had an uncle who Splinched himself so spectacularly, that ever 
after, whenever he sneezed--"  And we don't get the rest because 
McGonagall (the soul of propriety) clears her throat and he thinks 
better of finishing. <g>

Dumbledore's quotes (in canon and sometimes in fanon) remind me a 
bit of those Pinky and the Brain quotes which all begin with Brain 
saying, "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"  One of my favorite 
responses from Pinky is, "I think so, Brain.  But you know how 
burlap chafes me."
