Trivia number 57

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

In 1955, the New York State Labor Department ruled that "there is nothing inherently repulsive about a Van Dyke beard."   Hallmark now sells a line of "encouragement" cards you can send to people who've lost their job.  The last one for today is: Tobias Fünke's "nevernude" condition on Arrested Development is real. It's called "gymnophobia" — the fear of nude bodies.

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.   Wise Custom Realty is hiring in AR., PA., MO., CO., and OK., call me for details.

Hi James.  I can see why the word gymknophobia was created.  Have you ever been to a nude beach?

What will Hallmark think of next?  Most people who own a full length mirror more then likely suffer from "gymnophobia".

Hi James,

I have nothing that has not already been said. I think  Wayne summed it up pretty good.

Have a great day in Rogers.

Best, Clint McKie

Good morning James,

Ah the infamous dress code and make sure you cover you arse unless on a nude beach or walking main street of a city!

Make yourself a great day.

Good morning James. A good collection today. Cards for everything are always available but a loss of job is a sign of the times.

I just love Arrested Development and am so happy to see it ressurrected on Netflix. Sometimes I watch it just to see the scenery in my old kicking grounds at Balboa's Fun Zone.
