San Francisco Chronicle... predictable

They used to have weddings in the nude. You could always tell who was the best man.

I'm here to tell you, running in the nude, with the 'nads bouncing every which way, is no fun.

"Nudity, he said, erases marks of rank and privilege."

That ain't necessarily so...

[Larry Lucido]

Only women's figure skating should be in the nude. And maybe women's trampoline jumping.

The REAL reason nudity was eventually rejected: "Uh-oh. Looks like another runner is being dragged. That baton-pass needs a real tweeking."

I don't think I want to see some of the olympic "female" athletes completly nude.

Man! This is one of those rare opportunities where a few of my infantile penis jokes might not seem so out of place. Lucky for you guys, my AC just went out and the wife and I are taking turns laying in our underwear on the tile floor in the bathroom in an effort to stay alive. It's my turn. Bye.

Nudity, he said, erases marks of rank and privilege.

No, it doesn't. I saw a show on French TV about families spending their vacations at a nudist camp, and one of the things they liked about it was that it erased social classes. Yet, even without clothing, it was obvious these people were upper middle class. Body shape, posture, general bearing--there are a lot of ways people show their standing in society that have nothing to do with clothing.

I can see why Cacique always preferred to Romans to the Greeks.
