Always wondered

Another one, on the news, and this one right here in Newark, Ohio, a few blocks away, at a restaurant where we often eat.

Some guy, exposed himself, to a woman and her family, in the restaurant. I have never understood why someone would do that. I think they could get him for stupidity as well as the exposure thing. We know there are many "kooks" in the world, but the exposure thing I have never understood.

Since we never see what was exposed, we don't know whether he was "bragging" or just, well, sick. I have never had any thoughts of doing it, and I can think of nothing more embarrassing than exposing yourself, let's say to a young woman, and her response, laughing. How humiliating would that be?

Dogs and cows and other animals walk around, exposing themselves, and we think nothing of it. David Phelps, the swimmer, and all swimmers for that matter, leave little to the imagination ... and .... if not for that little thin piece of cloth, they are guilty of ..... exposing themselves. Nothing comes to mind where a woman has been guilty of exposing herself. Now, some have been arrested for public nudity or some such, but not for flashing, or a momentary exposing charge.

It happened in Nevada on a 21 table, in the old days, after shuffling the deck, it was offered to a player at the table to "cut" the deck ... in that instant, a woman threw open her coat, exposing a nude body, the dealer looked away, naturally, and he was "cold decked" ... a stacked deck was replaced. It was not detected for a while, lost a few bucks.

I cannot imagine what compels someone to want to be "seen" .... Maybe Tom Dooley, of "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley" would have the answer ..... he was hung.
