Funny moment at the museum

[Bede735]

I visited a museum at the weekend where one of the exhibits was a pair of woollen trunks from the 1940s.

My wife said 'they look really big!', at which point I had to explain that the modern trend is to wear much bigger ones. I could understand her confusion, as she doesn't swim much, and in 14 years of marriage she's never known me to wear anything other than rather brief Speedos.... :)

Those wool trunks make me cherish my nylon/Lycra swimsuits even more.

Those same wool trunks in college led me to buy my first nylon brief, a 5" Ocean brief.

Lol. Tis True and a pity.

I wish that there was a manufacturer that would make those old Ocean suits again....my first one was a 5" nylon suit, maroon with white side panels. Wish I had kept it.....
