The Condom Has Been Waiting

Text on the meme

“I’ll put this condom in my wallet just in case I need it.” The condom: I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as a life age of the earth.

What it means

The meme shows an extremely old, disheveled, bearded man with a distant expression, presented as a condom kept in a wallet for years. The joke is that the condom has waited so long to be used that it has become ancient and existentially weary, making it a reaction to something forgotten or delayed indefinitely.
