In rural Wisconsin, if want want to be thought some kind of pervert weirdo, wear a speedo to a small town beach. I could feel the eyes bulging as I noticed ALL the men and boys were wearing shorts type trunks. Could just imagine the sheriff turning up to arrest me.
In France particularly, Speedo style trunks are mandatory in many public and resort pools. Shorts style trunks are banned. And don't even mention the clothing etiquette for saunas. I can imagine the good folk of rural Wisconsin having a collective embolism over that :mrgreen:
Talking of weird things here, a word of warning to those who holiday here. Public urination is a sex offence in many States. There are people who appear on sex offenders list and have to register with the police for the rest of their lives because they took a piss on the way home from the bar.

Public urination is pretty well a way of life in France and no-one takes much notice,......which is why the phrase "Don't eat the yellow snow" is really important. Another reason for the habit is some ski resorts facilities charging 1 euro for a P :shock:
Not all of Europe adopts the same behaviours (thank goodness) :D
So Trencher, after a good night on the beer.....are you :twisted:
