PATNA, India (Reuters) - Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said on Thursday.

Naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.

Have at it.

>>Have at it.

Before the pictures come in?

[cripplecreek]

Interesting it says that elderly women helped but didn’t mention if they wore clothes.

[Born to Conserve]

Makes more sense than anything coming from the Obama administration.

Where are the pictures?

[Peter Horry]

Gods embarrassed by naked maidens... who knew.

[Tax-chick]

Well, did it work? Did it rain?

What are they going to try next?

[fso301]

I imagine the men stood by holding their tools watching the girls work.

[rickmichaels]

Hindu men make their daughters plow naked. Muslim men make their daughters dead.

LOL, Not many responses so far — many of the usual suspects may be rushing out to buy airline tickets to India.

[Cardhu]

I suppose they have to check that their wives are not going to see what they are reading about on their computers

[Star Traveler]

If God meant for people to have clothes, we would have been born with clothes on... LOL...

[Cardhu]

Just politics and agrarian reform honey...

Well, that will certainly make things, ahem, grow.

[Wardenclyffe]

Not exactly naked, but at least she has her Daisy Dukes on.

[Cardhu]

If it works maybe we can introduce it to America if the gods would be embarassed by American women too.

I was about to click til I read it was in India.

You would spoil the party for the guys wouldn’t you...:)

[TruthWillWin]

May not work, who cares!

[Cardhu]

You want hail storms, tornados and massive destruction ...

[paul51]

I don’t know about plowing, but she is not guilty of anything.

[Fawn]

That guy must be on crack.....I mean I see too much crack...

[Wardenclyffe]

[Cardhu]

Worth a try though.

[cranked]

Oh good grief. You need to package and market that as a contraceptive.

[Jeff Chandler]

You need to package and market that as a contraceptive.

Funny you should say that. I thought about selling beer in bottles with a photo of Hillary Clinton on them for that very purpose.

Shocking nobody posted the lyrics to Spinal Tap’s “Sex Farm Woman” yet:

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

Scratching in your hen house
Sniffing at your feedbag
Slipping out your back door
Leaving my spray

Sex farm woman, I’m gonna mow you down
Sex farm woman, I’ll rake and hoe you down
Sex farm woman, don’t you see my silo rising high?

Working on a sex farm
Hosing down your barn door
Bothering you livestock
They know what I need

Working up a hot sweat
Crouching in your pea patch
Plowing through your bean field
Planting my seed

Sex farm woman, I’ll be your hired hand
Sex farm woman, I’ll let my offer stand
Sex farm woman, don’t you hear my tractor rumbling by?

Working on a sex farm
Trying to raise some hard love
Getting out my pitch fork
Poking your hay

[cranked]

Ouch

[Deaf Smith]

Maybe this ploy will work for Central & South Texas? I'm sure that the local farm/ranch co-ops would fund such a program.

Are you kidding, this would cause the eskimos got try to grow wheat above the Arctic Circle

[chiefqc]

Ah, I think I’ll buy a farm.

[Cardhu]

That is a new one for me and I pride myself that I am steeped in debauchery.

[section9]

Sorry, but I couldn't help myself

Best,

In India I presume...
