    I wonder if the idea of the thong came from the first nerd to get a wedgie.

        The thong has a fascinating history. I can't help but laugh that a mayor with the nickname of "little flower" got so offended by female nudity that he ordered a sexy piece of clothing to be invented.

        It was invented as a means to cover them up. At least according to that screenshot. But hey, you seem like you have a degree in this so go ahead and "Well actually" yourself on out of my mentions since you apparently are an expert here and I don't give a shit.
