GERMAN TRAVEL FIRM OFFERS NUDE DAY TRIPS
MSNBC - German nudists will be able to start their holidays early by
stripping off on the plane if they take up a new offer from an eastern
German travel firm.
Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de said it would start taking bookings from
Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of
Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5
and costing 499 euros ($735).
"It's expensive, I know," managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by
phone. "It's because the plane's very small. There's no real reason why
a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any
other." Story continues below ?advertisement
The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and
dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed
throughout the flight for safety reasons.

WHEN DIGGING A GRAVE by hand, haul away 17 wheelbarrow loads of dirt and
pile the rest by the hole. You will have just the right amount to
backfill.
IF A POLAR BEAR CHARGES YOU, dodge to the right. Eskimos say most polar
bears are left-pawed.
