How not to get noticed at the county fair, apparently

At last week's county fair, temperatures went up into the nineties, and predictably, many of the attendants used that opportunity to divest themselves of as much clothing as they could legally do.  While I was busily averting my eyes, my wife (who of course does not share my weakness for the exposed female form) was busily watching the response of the young men towards the young ladies.

So what was going on?  More or less, despite the earnest efforts of the young ladies to get the attention of the young men, the young mens' response was.....flatline.   Whether it was common grace teaching Proverbs 31: 30, the fact that many of these young men were frankly bored with what they'd seen too many times, a combination of both of these factors, or yet something else, all those hours tanning and primping did not seem to generate much ROI for these ladies.

i may have to visit this fair next year, if for no other reason than to give you advance warning of when to avert your eyes.

Nah, you just want to watch the lawnmower racing and eat funnel cakes. Maybe I'll get a picture of the street tonight and post it.
