Has anyone ever streaked in poker?
Now, I'm sure millions of drunk students have danced around a home game in nothing but the birthday suit and a bow tie, and I know that there was a Strip Poker Championship in Ireland last year, but in terms of someone actually ripping of those velcro trousers and letting it all hang out at a major live event... has it ever happened?
My recollection is that it hasn't, but you may know better. If I am indeed correct, then perhaps today is the perfect opportunity: the big stage, the TV razmattaz, the spectators and, naturally, my good self egging whomever has the ahem... balls from the sidelines.
If I wasn't such a physical marvel, I would be happy to take the plunge, but it simply wouldn't be fair on any observers. I don't think I could live with myself if everyone left with a complex because of me.
Well, okay, that's not the real reason... it's really cold in here!
