Don't know if I should tell this or not - but here goes. Several years
ago we went on a camping trip up in the mountains. We were near a
swimming pond. After indulging in some swimming and some beverages I fell
asleep near the pond. When I awoke I found that I had slept with my arms
crossed over my stomach. I had the DIver Down look as well. Red on the
chest, white on the belly and an itty bitty red stripe right at the top
of my shorts.
So I can't laugh TOO much Thomas.
