The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Meanwhile, Greenland needs refrigerators

The store is called "Under the Sun," and it stocks clothing and accessories for nudists.

Um, say what?

Its inventory includes sarongs, linen blouses, minidresses that could double as tank tops. Nothing you couldn’t shake off pretty easily.

[Renee] Christian, herself a nudist, markets the boutique largely through word of mouth.

"Actually, nudists love clothes," she said. "We just like the option of not wearing them."

And besides, if you don't wear them, you can't wear them out.

Which calls to mind the old joke in the naturist camp, when the beautiful young lady walks by and a couple of fellows, mindful of proper etiquette, make a point of not gawking at her.

Then one of them stage-whispers: "Wow. Can you imagine her in, like, a tight sweater?"

I'm always so amused by what gets my homemetropolitanarea some notoriety.

Most of it is birthday suitable as you put it so well. Our strip clubs are world-renowned, and clothing-optional communities are so abundant that they're able to target even more specific niches (the hot singles one, the family one, the Christian one, etc.).

A few years ago near my home town they built a nudist colony with a 17 foot fence around it.

I still can't get over it.

A young lady was visiting her doctor and he informed her that she was pregnant.

"I can't be pregnant! I'm a nudist, and we practice sex with our eyes."

"Well Miss," explained the doc, "someone at your camp is cockeyed."

Nudist camps must have been around in biblical times.

How else would a man get a plank in his eye?
