What can you make from thongs ?
Asking for a friend
Unasked for anecdote that is probably going to get me in trouble .....
So my ex, who is in my opinion and the opinion of many other women (though, not by any stretch of the imagination, all) very beautiful, had a "thing" on his nose. As he is of European descent, and had grown up in Queensland, we decided that it needed to be examined by a dermatologist and probably removed and biopsied. Anyway, because at the time there were only less than 1000 dermatologists working for the NHS, and the dermatologists in Oz know much more about skin cancer, he made an appointment when we visited Australia. Because of the prevalence of pale anglo-celtics in Australia, the dermatologists there are proactive. Even though the mole/thingy was on his nose, he was asked to strip to his underwear, so they could check for any other problems in the appointment. He didn't expect that, so had dressed in his preferred "thong" underwear. So there he was, thirty something, lean and muscular wearing less than Matthew McConaughey wore in Magic Mike. The dermatologist, a woman in her sixties, walked in and said "this is an unexpected treat". Defused an awkward moment.
