George, [at Monk’s with Jerry]: “So she coughed.”
Jerry: “Coughing... naked... It’s a turn-off, man.”
George: “Everything goes with naked.”
Jerry: “When you cough, there are thousands of unseen muscles that suddenly
spring into action. It’s like watching that fat guy catch a cannonball in his
stomach in slow motion.”
George: “Oh, you spoiled, spoiled man. Do you now how much mental energy I
expend just trying to picture women naked?”
Jerry: “But the thing you don’t realize is that there’s good naked and bad
naked. Naked hair brushing, good; naked crouching, bad.

Haha - women’s equality day celebrated by going topless. How stupid are these women? Exposing themselves to every pervert in the greater Pittsburgh area makes them feel empowered. I don’t think they understand what that word means.

At home it does.....walking down a crowded street it makes you an image for pervs. It is the opposite of empowerment.
