Monday - 281 - Shirtless Guy

John and I spotted a new comer a couple of weeks back.  He was hard to miss without his shirt. 

He is an older gentleman, with a nice tan, from up north, specifically New York. He seems to be a nice person, but John and I both had the same exact thought, "Put a shirt on!"

During our first encounter with the guy, he was doing his laundry.  We gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he didn't have any clean shirts, and this is why he was shirtless. 

As the weeks passed by, John and I each spotted shirtless guy on number of occasions.  He was hard to miss without his shirt. 

We often saw him by the laundry, and I wondered, "What laundry did he have?  He never wears a shirt, and he always wears the same 1982 mini shorts."  

Does it get any better than this? 

Yes, it does.  He drives a fancy truck and now lives down the road from us, ever since we moved our camper.  We often see him washing his truck, SHIRTLESS!! 

From my perspective, it is obvious the guy has had a seasoned life.  I suspect many beautiful, blond women, fawned over his shirtless physique, (in his younger years).      

I base this on the way he struts around the campground, (without his shirt).  

The only difference now is the guy has aged (a bit), the women fawning over him have aged (a bit) and he is a bit more wrinkled, (everywhere).  It was probably time to put his shirt back on a few decades ago. 

This all makes me smile real big, because it's such good material for a good blog post. 

I had to do it....

My top ten reasons why it's okay for shirtless guy to be shirtless. 

10.  He lives in a campground, one of the few places you can live shirtless 24/7. (aside from a nudist colony)

9.  If he puts a shirt on, it would be like admitting he's too old to go shirtless. 

8.  Wearing 1982 cotton mini-shorts
without a shirt, makes the entire ensemble work much better. 

7.  It's Florida, who needs a shirt? 

6.  On the coldest day of the year, he can still lie by the pool.....shirtless.  (And he did just that!)

5.  Everyone is allowed to check him out, even if it's for all for the wrong reasons. 

4.  While doing laundry, he can wash ALL his clothes, because he's shirtless.  

3. He's from New York!  The only other thing he's missing, besides his shirt, is a few gold chains. 

2.  He still thinks he's 'hot de trot'.  With confidence like that, he deserves to be shirtless. 

1.  Voyeurs like me, can sneak a photo of the guy, talking to a lady totally ignoring the fact that he is SHIRTLESS!!  

 

(I promise to do a follow-up with a better photo, this one does not do the dude justice)
