I always shower before going into a pool in Switzerland, and I always wear a clean bathing suit.

Then...I proceed to pee in the pool.

Is that wrong?

Ah-ha. That explains the sign I saw last weekend at a public bath in Burgdorf (which is nowhere near Zurich) stating only wear one bathing suit – with the ONE underlined – in the pool. My (Swiss) husband and I couldn’t figure that one out.

TQE – I noticed that, too. The full-length picture did appear in the print version, though. Boy, are you missing out!

GL – can’t wait to see what kind of trouble you start stirring up. Jaywalking? Placing green glass in the receptacle for brown glass? There’s all kinds of opportunities for mischief out there…

Christina – After having spent time on Italian beaches, I just can’t get behind your speedo initiative. Sorry.

Absolutely shocking! Maybe they should hand out free Speedos at the door?

It must be so hard to be a reporter in Switzerland. There is so little that is actually wrong that newspapers are forced to report on people wearing their underwear to swim.

Very sad.

Perhaps we should start some kind of a campaign to create real problems instead of imaginary ones? That way the reporters could feel useful.

They have a picture of two offending youth, but not of the underwear/swimsuit combo. How are we to judge for ourselves?!
