GREENVILLE, Maine - "Naked Lunch" just doesn't sound appetizing to some people. A sandwich called the Skinny Dip, featuring sliced prime rib in a baguette roll, has been offered free of charge anyone willing to plunge naked from The Black Frog Restaurant's dock into a lake. Since the free sandwich offer was introduced three years ago, owner Leigh Turner has found plenty of takers. "We've had two or three a week," he said.

But now the promotion is running into trouble: A patron apparently suggested to selectmen that the activity be banned.

"A patron apparently suggested to selectmen that the activity be banned."

One meddlesome, busybody prude and the town leaders get hysterical. Time for a recall or special election, if you ask me.

Then on the other hand, such a highly immoral, shameful exhibition could corrupt the morals of every single citizen on the town, and start a crime wave of catastrophic proportions.

*****barf*****

Were I in Greenville, I'd support this measure, with one amendment: I'd only ban bad naked.

They’d probably give me the sandwich not to skinny dip.

I wonder if the complaining patron was Dr. James Dobson.

I found the 2nd listing of your search much more interesting:

That entirely depends on who is doing the skinny dipping

I'm with you on that one, chief.

No thanks. Not me.

(1) I don't eat meat.

(2) I'm not about to plunge into some cold Maine lake.

(3) If I decide to go naked it'll be because I want to, and it certainly will not be for a free lunch.

Once my sister went out with a man on his yacht. He came on to her. She told him to get lost. Later, some friend of his, a woman (obviously a nutcase), said that she shouldn't have accepted the invitation if she intended to reject his advances. I said, "Do you mean to tell me that every time this woman goes for a boat ride she feels obligated to put out???" Needless to say, both the yachtsman and his ladyfriend were write-offs.

Thanks for posting this. I missed it previously.

All fun and games until someone has a heart attack from the cold water shock and their family ends up owning the restaurant.

Come to think of it, this is a great social program. All the homeless have to do to eat a hot, protein rich meal each day is to strip nekked and jump in the water.

Just goes to prove that no good deed remains unpunished.

I wonder how many of the ordinances passed by these "selectmen" have passed inn the last three years have done so much to making their town more pleasing to the nostrils as has this man's opening the way to furnishing free baths and lunches to the street people.

Well if Helen Thomas ever became a “taker” of this offer, the practice should be banned!

If the restaurant owner is smart he would give her the sandwich with no strings attached. That is if he wanted to stay in business.
