After she learned that you were talking about curious translations of signs, she was greatly relieved. You see, here in Australia, we are much more conservative than you are in Scandinavia. Therefore, nakedness is something that we never see and rarely even discuss. Oh, Rennie, you are quite the guy! No wonder you have thousands of fans and ardent admirers! Rennie:
