Lucky Larry Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) overheard 2 weeks ago at smith rawk: leader to group, "what's warmer, being totally soaked with your clothes on, or naked and wet?" Student, "naked and wet." Instructor, "that's right." What the hay? What about wind chill? Maybe that's why some people are found woundering around the mountain naked.
