Who knew Bill Gates had such a good sense of humor? The Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist recently participated in an “ask me anything” session on Reddit.
One of the redditors took it as an opportunity to prod him about his "next-generation condom" project. Here's what he replied:
