h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You obviously have much to discover about Earth and the friendlier ways of it's inhabitants

I challenge you to a duel. I will stand for The Remove Our Shirt Brigade and you can stand for The Keep Our Shirts On Brigade.

We cannot meet at dawn like this, so we will have to make other suitable arrangements.

You obviously have trouble keeping your shirt on! Would you please explain to me what advantages are born of removing your shirt? I have heard strange tales of people being ravaged upon the removal of their shirts. I have chosen to avoid this alarming fate. Is it that you enjoy ravagement? Please elucidate me, oh shirtless one...

I have no trouble keeping my shirt on! But here's some stuff on shirts anyway:

Unlike a bed sheet, a shirt *will* protect you from being ravaged. I would advise that most of the time it *is* wise to keep it on, as the removal of one's shirt is certainly a very provocative move (though I would say that the sudden removable of your trousers is a much more dangerous stunt). If you *do* decide to proceed you need to be confident that you will survive the experience unscathed, although you may have some minor bruises.

But it seems to now that you are agreeing that the Shirt is something to keep on unless you're looking for trouble. Oh mighty one from the Remove Your Shirt Brigade, either you are a supremely condtradictory spirit or you are indeed looking for a fight ?

I'm trying to decided who I disagree entirely with. I think I mostly disagree entirely with Bandy legs as I prefer to keep my shirt on. I would not get into a fight if I took my shirt off. Nor am I likely to be ravished. But I would likely be arrested. And my shirt might be stolen by homless gipsy midgets looking for a tent, which would certainly lead to a fight, if not a stern letter to the paper. I'm with Fierce.

...with shirt half off around shoulders exposing copious embonpoint and looking up from under my flirtatious eyelashes! All those humans blessed with mammary glands, get 'em out for the other half! And those who aren't, get your shirts off too as long as you don't have a hairy back... or a beer belly... (sorry to be aesthetically discriminatory). These unfortunate individuals should retain their shirts at all times, PLEASE!

If anybody is attending Ginger's rounders game in London, England - one team should be sans shirts, and the other team should be shirty! Hee hee hee rofl at my own silliness...

If you are truly sitting on the fence, I hope you have strong trousers on. Another realated piece of advice. Don't play leapfrog with a unicorn.

... with leather trousers! Strong enough for ya?!
