Travel Supplies - "Sexy Skin Lotion" edition

When I travel, I tend to walk the fairly thin line between obsessively prepared and lightweight travel.
The point here is that in this day and age you can pretty much buy anything you need at the destination if you really need it, and the only allowance you need to make is that you can survive if you show up on a Sunday - when all the shops happen to be closed.

But even that is changing!

Germany - which has some of the toughest Sunday trading laws around - recently ruled that "condoms, porn DVDs and sexy skin lotion" are acceptable for sale on Sundays since they are (get this!) "legitimate travel supplies"!

"This is the decision of the court … since the above articles can be considered 'travel supplies,' regardless of their content," 

Mind you, this decision explicitly said that sex toys were not legitimate travel supplies, but "sexy skin lotion" was.
Thats pretty entertaining to begin with, but as Local World reports the kicker is that

Three administrative judges visited Erotic World ahead of the court hearing to inspect the shop's goods, carefully assessing whether each item might come in handy on a long journey. 

Condoms were considered useful enough, but the judges ruled that the old favourite sex game "Erotic Ludo" should still be taboo on the day God has designated the day of rest.

As I've said before, I don't even bother reading The Onion anymore, reality is pretty damn good enough :-)
