Rain, Rain Go Away… Oh wait, I live in London.

An article in the Telegraph recounted the details of a young woman who performed an impromptu striptease at an agricultural show in Wales. At first I thought the striptease itself was the funny part, being that these agricultural shows are probably not exactly a hotbed of attractive folks, but then I read this line from the article and just completely lost it. Like snorting and crying as I’m laughing so hard that I can barely breathe properly.

“The show in Builth Wells, mid Wales, is a high point of the agricultural calendar, this year attracting a record 240,140 visitors over four days.”

Couple of things:

1) Can there actually be ‘a high point of the agricultural calendar’?

2) 240,140 people?! WTF?! What are these people doing at an agricultural show in Wales when the weather has been gorgeous for the past 2 weeks? Clearly that number is made up, or at least counts repeat patrons. No way 240,140 different people showed up to this thing. Perhaps some of them heard rumors of the impending striptease and hoped to sneak a peak…

Also, you should know that the woman, who was hosed down with water usually used to wash the cattle in an attempt to restrain her (I know. I’m laughing as I type. Seriously?!), threw her thong into the crowd at the end, but it was kindly returned to her on the end of a pitchfork.

That’s it, for now. But, really, wasn’t that more than enough?
