Speedos My mate Damo has just joined a gym so that he can go swimming. To make the whole experience real, he went shopping for Speedos (otherwise known as banana hammocks, DP's or grape smugglers) and goggles. Now, surely there are better (stylistically and comfort-wise) options to Speedos. I mean, with people in space, a highly developed fashion industry and so many stretchy fabrics, you'd think that we'd have moved on from what I can only describe as a blight on the whole water-based activity scene. Granted, if you're going swimming for fitness, you probably don't want to be wearing boardies, but COME ON!! Speedos?? I think I'd rather... did someone say brunch?
The other thing was the instructions that came with the goggles... Instructions?? Just how stupid do you have to be? (rhetorical question) One of the warnings was "Don't pull goggles away from face and let go." Seriously. Mind you, I'm sure this is just protection against someone potentially suing them for not warning them they shouldn't do it. It's like the urban legend of the cruise control case (last item on the page).
