I'm just a non-biased reporter, folks. Just the facts.

Contrary to popular opinion, this will not be a "bare-bones" flight. Mae and Sue will be greeting everyone at the gate in their best non-attire!

"Naked Air" passengers ready for take off
Fri Jan 17, 5:09 PM ET

HOUSTON (Reuters) - On Naked-Air, seatbelts aren't the only things coming off once the pilot switches off the sign.

Passengers aboard a May 3 chartered flight from Miami to Cancun, Mexico, dubbed "Naked-Air", will be free to drop their pants, shed their bras and underwear and move about the cabin au naturel.

Castaways Travel, a Houston-area travel agency that specialises in "clothing-optional trips," is offering what it bills as the world's first all-nude flight for $499 (309 pounds), round-trip.

"Once the aircraft reaches cruising altitude, you will be free to enjoy the flight clothes-free," the agency's website says.

But those thinking about engaging in monkey business on the trip are warned: "Inappropriate behaviour is not condoned for this nude flight."

Seats aboard the chartered Boeing 727-200 jet are reserved for the first 170 passengers, and the destination is an all-inclusive "Nude Week" vacation at the El Dorado Resort & Spa in Cancun.

Castaways bills Nude Week as the first event of its kind to be held Mexico. Guests at the resort on the Caribbean coast will only have to cover up when they are in the hotel's restaurants and reception areas. The bars are fair game for the naked and the nude.

Among the activities planned for Nude Week are "Caesar's Rampage/Toga night, a special "castaway" night ala Tom Hanks' movie, Karaoke night, PJ night, body painting plus lots more fun themes and games," the website promises.

Given the incredibly strict airport security that is now the rule in the U.S., passengers aboard "Naked-Air" should have it a bit easier -- none are likely to be carrying too much in their luggage.

Not to drive this thread backwards or in circles... or all out ruin it... but I MUST refer all the way back to the banana article - This really distresses me. But only because I really like to EAT bananas, not because I like to put them in the freezer! (who says a banana can't have sex?!) .... "right up mine" I guess Jeff was right!

crap - there I go again, saying things I really shouldn't.

"crap - there I go again, saying things I really shouldn't."

No, no, Grasshopper. Say what you mean, but mean what you say.

Hmmm..That sounds like a good principle...........

If bananas apeel to you, keep eating them, especially since they're apparently nearing the edge of extinction. Just remember to debone them first.

Back on topic: Do you want some in-flight pictures of Mae and Sue? :cd:

[catman]

Debone? what kind of bananas you eating Jeff?

[thebrad]

I've got TONS of pictures of Mae and Sue - I told them the photobooth was broke.... I didn't tell them it was just the flash, the camera was still working the whole time... all the times!

[JeffL]

I dunno. Got 'em on sale down at Safeway.

You may have pictures, but I'm talkin' 'bout PICTURES!!!!!!! :cl:

[thebrad]

I've got Playboy quality - your's must be Penthouse... I'll need to see those!

[JeffL]

Perhaps, Brad. But you'll have to wait until after all of your initial military training. I would not want to be responsible for you going AWOL due to horniness.

Sorry.........

[thebrad]

There's saltpeter for that

Q: What kind of work do you do?
A: I smell t-shirt armpits. I love my job!

Smelly Armpits? Consider Botox Shots
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Botox shots commonly used to temporarily smooth facial wrinkles may also be an aid to those with smelly armpits, a German study said Monday.

Volunteers were asked to rate the intensity and "unpleasant" or "pleasant" odor of cut-out armpits from T-shirts worn by 16 people given shots with the botulinum toxin A -- known as Botox -- in one armpit and a harmless solution in the other.

Botox, a purified form of the toxin that causes botulism food poisoning, smooths wrinkles and paralyzes sweat glands by interfering with neurotransmitters and relaxing muscles.

According to the study, published in the journal Archives of Dermatology (news - web sites), the T-shirts were worn for a 24-hour period and rated from zero to six for smell intensity and minus-3 to plus-3 for the "unpleasant" or "pleasant" quality of the odor.

Study author Marc Heckmann of Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich said the armpits scored an average 2.69 on the intensity scale before treatment, falling to 1.83 after treatment, study author Marc Kechmann of Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich said.

As to smell quality, the scores averaged minus-1.14 before treatment and plus-0.46 after. The armpits were noticeably drier following the shots.

Would your armpits be noticeable drier following, during or before the shots?
