You're welcome, you pervert.

I would have put money on this happening in Australia. See also: 'where have all the bloody teaspoons gone?' http://www.bmj.com/content/331/7531/1498

Wow. I'm curious if any of these Australian researchers have done a study correlating the number of birthday's someone has with their health. I can see the abstract now - "Study shows that birthday's are good for your health. The more birthdays you have the longer you live"

Now that's funny. Someone just ruined your yogurt-filled snack? ;-)

Depends on the bikini, probably. If the posterior portion thereof has sufficient coverage, there shouldn't be any major issue.

Or better yet, adapt those "As Seen On TV" 'fart absorbing undies' to the task. As bonus the baristas can go back to their kale and cruciform diet, without worrying that their mighty trumpets would disturb the customers.

NSF Certified thongs really do need to be a thing I suppose.

I... stand corrected. I guess if he was wearing, shirt and shoes...

Lol She (!) seemed to have everything else clothes-wise, including a hat.

>She (!)

That should have been obvious. Nobody thinks twice about women wearing less than they typical minimum of clothing in public. When men do it people call the cops.

Don't we have diseases to cure, cancers to heal?

I don't know what it is about this type of comment, but whenever someone says something like this it really infuriates me. Yes, freedom of speech and opinion and all, but my first thought is "How dare you criticize someone else for wasting time on something you don't feel is important. Unless you've never, once in your life, done a sub-optimal or unnecessary task. Go to a movie lately? Why didn't you send that money…

desireco42 put a lot of hard work and effort into that criticism, who are you to say it's no good?
