The 99-cent store's newspaper ads today divide possible Father's Day gifts into two categories: Good Choice and Bad Choice. In the former are ties, belts, socks — and condoms. In the latter Bad Choice group are gas relief pills, foot powder spray, adult underpads — and condoms again. The ad in the L.A. Times is on page A24.
