OT and nicked from elsewhere

No it doesn't. People think it does but all it does is wind up lift engineers who have to change worn out buttons!!.

I also read somewhere that the "door close" button in most elevators isn't wired to anything, it's just there to make control freaks feel better.

Apparently people tend to feel uncomfortable undressing in front of somebody else, even if they are OK being naked in front of them. It's the same with photography, and in some cases, nudist camps - people will tend to get undressed in private. I have absolutely no idea why.

I should get your freezer fixed, mine's got a light..............

Is this something you have read or something you have experienced?;-)

I think it depends on the freezer you have. Our old chest freezer had a light but the upright one I have now doesn't.

Well, both actually :) Although I've yet to go to a nudist camp...

both our chest freezers have lights, neither of 'em work.

You could have lied about the nudist camp!

Ours did when we had a chest freezer. It broke when I fell in it trying to reach a packet of frozen pastry that had fallen out one of the baskets.

The kids thought it was really funny.

I have a vision of a pair of women's legs sticking out of a freezer with a broken chest for some reason ! :D

Hey, what are you saying about Nikki's chest?

Nothing I am sure its fine Its just she said ........It broke when I fell in it !!!! LOL :D

That's because it *is*!

I really must stop checking my newsgroups while eating - chocolate stains are so unbecoming, dont you know ...

The door close button on all my lifts is wired to something.......the door close contactor!!!!.

I reckon it's because nakedness isn't sexual per se - there are quite a few situations where people can be naked or nearly so in front of strangers (doctor's, pool, beach, artists' models, fashion shoots) without regarding the situation as a sexual one. Whereas getting undressed in front of someone else is almost always a prelude to something intimate. For some reason we feel vulnerable.

People prance around at a public swimming pool in next to nothing, a few skimpy bits of lycra/nylon/cotton barely hiding their naughty bits, but the changing rooms themselves are segregated and often under quite high security.

Yep, it's a puzzle.

The thing that's always bugged me is - if you have a fridge light that goes out when you shut the door, how do you know the switch is working?

Take all the stuff out, remove the shelves, climb in, shut the door.

Or use a webcam.

I've even been on beaches (not in the UK, of course) where people will sunbathe all day in a costume, then take it off to shower right in the middle of the beach. So why bother with the costume?! Sunburn?

Right then, who's up for a naked green laning trip? I vote no brambles or stinging nettles.
