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.

I’m not hitting abuse, but that’s a little bit much of a slip for FR.

If you’re a woman, that won’t work. See post#76!Trust me on this. With all due respect to Swampie and Cardhu, in my case it would work.
It's very sunny today! ;-D
No UPS man today either.

Hey! I heard that works. It really does! That’s a great idea for some of the drought areas here. I highly suggest they start tomorrow! Let me know who’s in and game to give it a try to make it rain!

I didn’t even have to go nekkid! I just threatened to, and we got zero rain on Friday and only 0.4” yesterday. That was after having 2” the previous two days.
Hah! It worked!
