Can't be any skimpier that what the divers were wearing in the Olympics!!
And that was televised on national TV. I'm with the "life is too short" crew on this one....now would I squeeze my plus-sized body into a string bikini, uh, no, but different strokes for different folks.
Just remember, you wear the potato in the front.
Joke:
Two men were walking on the beach in speedos. One man was getting ooohs and ahhhhs from the women. The man that wasn't getting the attention asked his friend. "Hey, how come all these women are fawning all over you on the beach", to which his friend replied "Easy, potato in the Speedo man!"
Well the next day, the guys were walking down the beach again, and the women were running away screaming. "I don't get it, I used the potato as you suggested!" remarked the previously ignored man. His friend replied:
"Dude, the potato is suppose to be in the front".
