The Things You See in a Heatwave

Back in June, JJ (@JolietJake) wrote a post entitled I Bought A Naked Blonde on Ebay. You can read it here: (http://www.mylot.com/post/2947301/i-bought-a-naked-blonde-on-ebay). Replying to my comment, JJ mentioned that he still keeps his eyes peeled when on the highway, I guess in the hopes he'll come across a naked blonde.
This reminded me of a very hot day when myself and three other ladies were returning home from a meeting. We drove past an old dairy farm. A rainwater tank was standing at the end of a building and water was being pumped from an outlet at the top of the tank. Standing under the stream of water was a naked man just washing himself and enjoying the cool water. He had his back to the road but we gave him a toot anyway.
Every time we travel that road which we do often I watch hopefully for the naked man but he has never appeared since. Maybe it was a hallucination caused by the hot weather but I live in hope of one day seeing him again.
The photo is a bare tree trunk. I don't have any photos of naked men.

@PainsOnSlate Thanks for the link. This saying is relatively recent compared to some of them.

Words from Pratchett floated before my eyes...
From Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki Jump to: navigation, search A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End is a famous drinking song, first mentioned in Wyrd Sisters. Due to the song being built around double entendres, Nanny Ogg has taken a shine to it, and

Well, I am sure this would be interesting especially since it seemed worth looking at, but since I live in the City unless we're traveling somewhere this is probably something I will never see.

No, this was a quiet country road which is probably why he thought he was safe. :)

There might have been a nasty accident with a car running off the road. I'd sue him for distraction!
