Speedos are Gaining Popularity. T.M.I.?!

It's not just competitive swimmers and divers wearing Speedos these days. According to Expedia's Flip Flop Report, Speedos and nude sun bathing are making a big come back!Even in the U.S.,  acceptance of the "banana hammock" is up 15% this year. The biggest fans of the itty, bitty scrap of Lycra are: Sexy Brazil, Austria, Germany and Spain.

Here is my annual Old Orchard Beach Speedo joke:

Pierre and Jacque traveled from neighboring Canada to enjoy a week in Old Orchard Beach. Pierre is VERY successful with the ladies. Meanwhile, Jacque is getting no action. After another day trolling the beach and coming home alone, he asks Pierre what his secret is and asks for a little help drumming up game. Pierre looks Jacque in the eye and says, "First, you buy a Speedo two sizes too small. Then, you get a potato about the size of a fist and you put it in the Speedo." Jacque is thrilled to have any suggestion at all. He goes to Shaw's in Saco and buys the perfect potato, puts it in his Speedo and struts along the beach. People are laughing, some women even seem to be turning away in disgust! He goes back to the hotel room so upset! "Pierre! Everyone laugh at me, what did you do to poor Jacque?!" Pierre shook his head and put his hand on Jacque's shoulder. "Jacque, the potato goes in the front!"

Would you wear a Speedo Guys? Ladies, would you want your man to wear one? Is Sebago Lake State Park ready for this?! Let it all hang out on our facebook Fan Page #speedo, or tweet us.

Still a fan of board shorts,
