AHF told to move its Condom Nation 18-wheeler from hotel

AIDS Healthcare Foundation moved merchandise into its new Out of the Closet store today using its Condom Nation 18-wheeler. Then they checked into their hotel, the Holiday Inn on Harry Hines Boulevard and parked the truck at the hotel near other 18-wheelers.

AHF Regional Director Adam Ouderkirk said Calvin Hamann, the hotel manager, told them to move the truck by 4 p.m. or he’d call the police. After all, you wouldn’t want a truck promoting condom use seen anywhere on Harry Hines Boulevard, a street best known for prostitution, parked at a hotel a block from Parkland Hospital’s AIDS clinic.

I called Hamann, who seemed to know nothing about the incident, but he said he’d get back in touch with me. We’re waiting.

My second one would be "Put that in writing."
If the manager asks why I'd tell him "My attorney needs a good laugh"
