I take it most of you haven’t been to a water park lately. When I went to Legoland last year there were easily more men wearing shirts in the water park section than not. I was one of them because I’m a doughy fat guy and the world doesn’t need to see my belly. I know the average Doper is roughly 90 years old and grew up swimming laps in the nude in non-chlorinated pools, but wearing a shirt in the pool is one of the most normal things Vance has done. ---

**Moderating** : @Beckdawrek, this is really off-topic. But I am not going to give a warning on this one and the thread appears to be a rambling mess mainly. Watch for going off-topic. I keep advising you to avoid this. * * * * * * **TO ALL** : As to this thread, it seems to be barely on topic. Try to stay on topic about Vance as Trump’s Running Mate. ---
