'Naked Lunch' May Be Banned In Maine.

[Tafiti]

GREENVILLE, Maine - "Naked Lunch" just doesn't sound appetizing to some people. A sandwich called the Skinny Dip, featuring sliced prime rib in a baguette roll, has been offered free of charge anyone willing to plunge naked from The Black Frog Restaurant's dock into a lake.

Since the free sandwich offer was introduced three years ago, owner Leigh Turner has found plenty of takers. "We've had two or three a week," he said.

But now the promotion is running into trouble: A patron apparently suggested to selectmen that the activity be banned. (Boooo! :thumbsdown:)

The naked lunch issue surfaced this week when Town Manager John Simko presented the Black Frog's application to renew its liquor license. Simko said he had been approached about the nudity and suggested that Police Chief Scott MacMaster speak to the owner.

2. If they made a vegetarian version

I'd be diving & lunching there once a week.

3. One sandwich?

People are willing to get naked for ONE SANDWICH? C'mon, people, show a little self respect. DEMAND THAT THEY THROW IN A COFFEE AND AND AN APPLE TURNOVER!

Cheap strippers... >_<

4. I clicked on this thread thinking they banned the Burroughs novel

I probably wouldn't do the skinny dip, though I support anybody's right to get nekkid for what sounds like a delicious sandwich.

6. Me too

I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie and it's one of the strangest things I've ever seen.
