You can have fun without coming across as a disgusting nut job. I found a list of suggestions for ...Spanish flight attendants produce nude calendar to publicize bankruptcy

Nov 19th, 2009 at 2:00PM: After having been left alone for a while, California isn't tolerating nudity any more. The state's Department of Parks and Recreation is putting out the word that it will crack down on bare crack this year at San Onofre State Beach.

Jul 2nd, 2009 at 12:00PM: Keith Wright, a New Yorker (damn!) felt restricted by more than just cramped airline seating today. On a flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles, he ditched his clothing and did not respond (vocally, at least) to flight attendant requests to put them back on.

Mar 13th, 2009 at 2:00PM: You'll do anything for a free flight, right? You'll stand at the counter and yell and scream at some gate agent for half an hour while a line that stretches back to the next terminal wait with looks of increasing contempt. You'll get up in the middle of the night to enter every online contest you can find first. But, would you strip to your skin – in the company of 998 other non-professional ...Go to Australia, get dressed
Feb 22nd, 2009 at 11:00AM: Put your clothes back on.
