Naked swimmer entertains diners

SAN FRANCISCO - Waterborne weenie waving has become an unwanted side dish at a waterside restaurant in a popular tourist haunt across the bay from San Francisco, the manager lamented humorously.

"Most of the diners think it is quite comical," Jeff Scharosch, manager of The Spinnaker restaurant in the town of Sausalito, said.

"First, they can't believe anyone is actually swimming in the bay, which is cold and not the cleanest," he continued. "Then, when they find out he is not wearing anything, it becomes more of a scene."

Local police have been called several times, but the aquatic exhibitionist has been too slippery to catch, according to Scharosch.

The restaurant is built on stilts and is perched on an edge of the San Francisco Bay not far from the famed Golden Gate Bridge.

During the past few weeks, the skinny-dipper has stroked his way past the windowed dining room and open bar deck on various late mornings or afternoons, after the chilly waters warm a bit, Scharosch said.

"No one really knew he wasn't wearing a bathing suit until he started doing back flips and sticking it up out of the water," Scharosch said, noting it was difficult to determine whether the swimmer's "periscope was up".

"I think he pays more attention to the dining room side," Scharosch said. "He did a whole little show there."

Swim-by flashings by the nudist have not seemed to affect business at the 45-year-old restaurant, according to the manager.

Of course, being San Francisco, the attraction is about a nude MAN!

Ping! The "Waterborne Weenie Wavers" would be a great name for a rock band!

That reminds me of a story I read a few years ago.  In Japan, apparently, you could dine on sashimi spread across the naked body of a nubile young lady.
I oftentimes dwell on this story...

There's an easy way to stop this, if they really want to.

Get the whole restaurant staff outside, laughing and pointing and each holding up their thumb and forefinger about an inch apart, as in, "It's only this big!"

I'm sure the swimmer wants attention, but I doubt he wants ridicule.

Stroking in public?

Is that a cocktail weenie or is he just not happy to see us?

Would the turtle be charged with a Misdewiener?

Or maybe they are simply afraid to touch him.

Did it taste fishy?
