Tuesday Top Ten… things that are better to do with your clothes on.

by Devil’s Food Cake

I think we can all pretty much agree that nudity can be a very good thing. And while there are probably a lot of things that would be better if done naked – swimming, walking around the house, the dishes – surely there are exceptions to the rule. So, to expand all our minds I have taken the liberty of compiling a list – a list of things that are much better done in their normal, clothing-mandatory ways….

1. Dusting. The inappropriate places that dirt could go just are not worth pondering.

2. Sitting on a white couch. Remember Charlotte’s husband in Sex and the City? No teabagging on the furniture, please (although we are not generally capable of this, I know).

3. Dinner with her parents. Or your parents. Or anyone’s parents.

4. Cooking. The idea of a naked chef may, in theory, appeal. But think about blanching the vegetables. Or frying up the garlic. Not such a good idea when you think about all the things that could go very, very wrong.

5. Horse-riding. Could you imagine the… actually – I don’t even want to try.

6. Bee-keeping. See reason 5 above.

7. Sleepwalking. No control over what you do. No control over where you are. Not ideal.

8. Belly-dancing. The bits. Just… flying. Everywhere. Blurgh.

9. Climbing trees. Or, more specifically, falling down trees that you have attempted to climb.

10. Um… rope-climbing?

Those got more predictable towards the end, I know. I mean, there’s really only so far one can go with clothes really. Otherwise things just get boring.

What would you rather do whilst fully clothed?
