what should one do when faced with a naked french man?
the good lady and i have recently returned from vacances en france. a superlative sojourn it was as well.
one soon notices that on the continental beaches that some people seem to have forgotten their bathing outfits.
after seeing several of these underclad chaps on the plage a theme seemed to emerge. while they would usually not be sporting any more than a smiling moustache below the nose, they would invariably be sporting a chapeau.
i started wondering what would be the appropriate etiquette if one of these men engaged me in conversation. i decided that i would simply hand him the bag from my baguette to protect our mutual modesty and carry on regardless. while i have not personally found the necessity of nudity i think that it is important to join in with local customs. with that i have started growing a moustache and am currently shopping for a hat.
