While this may not be entirely in the spirit of good clothes-optional recreation, it was cute so I thought I'd post it. (From the letters section of the December issue of "Clothed with the Sun"). A Minneapolis Beachfront member recently visited the Mendota Bridge quarry only to find the spot swarming with clothes-compulsive teenagers. So she left her clothes at some distance and went swimming. After a time she noticed police officers were herding everyone together to write them up, not for nudity but for swimming. The woman quietly left the water, dried in the sun, and donned her shorts and t-shirt. As she strolled towards the exit she asked a policeman, "What are you giving tickets for?" "For swimming," he replied, "and you're next." "But I wasn't swimming," she protested. "Why, I'm not even wet." That stopped the cop for a moment; then he said triumphantly: "You could have dried off!" Our friend, not stumped, replied "I couldn't have been swimming," and she pulled up her t-shirt to reveal her bare chest. "Look! I don't even have a swimming suit!" The cop looked, and looked. "I guess you couldn't have been swimming if you don't have a suit," he finally said. And let her go. Pete LaMaster ihnp4!houxh!pvl
