Watchout Budgie's About

I got an awful fright today.

I was driving along, minding my own business, thinking - do I have to go to work today? - when, all of a sudden, this sight appeared to my left hanging onto a child.

Well, I have been brought up on the saying "nobody's perfect" but this guy certainly thought he was!

I would say (to be kind) that he was on the verge of middle age nearing old age. He was doing the dutiful father thing (or was it grandfather thing) by taking his daughter/granddaughter to school.

She was oblivious to the shock and horror that her companion was bestowing on me, poor thing.

He was standing there by the side of the road in a pair of Speedos (otherwise known as budgie smugglers). There was hardly any fabric there to be seen they were that skimpy. His beer belly was hanging over the top of them and to top it off he looked like he'd been tangoed.

Now, I know that when I have been taking the kids to school I haven't always looked my best but I have never had the inclination to drop them off dressed in a bikini. And now that I am 40 something I don't think I will ever attempt such a thing!

I'm sure he thought he was the bees knees what with all the looks he was getting from the ladies.

You will be pleased to hear that I didn't break my camera by photographing this sight and continued on my journey to Kmart albeit a little ashen faced!

If you'd like to see some examples of how budgie smugglers should look on a real Aussie bloke take a look at this ;o) http://www.budgysmuggler.com.au/
