Yesterday was National Nude Day. I made the following Facebook post and tweet:

HAPPY NATIONAL NUDE DAY. All nude customers receive free cheesecake today.

Well… we didn’t get any nude customers but we did get a lot of interest. Three calls from the Ottawa Citizen hoping for nude customers. Sadly… no nude customers and, so, no newspaper coverage.

Next year maybe I will work lunch and supper wearing only an apron. Kind of half nude.

I didn’t really think that we would get any nude people. I frequently offer free cheesecake in exchange for singing a song, doing a Michael Caine impression, dancing the Can-Can, or whatever. And, we do not give away very many free cheesecake. It goes back to something I learned in my twenty years in radio — most people are REALLY scared of being embarrassed. Like, really scared. So, I was pretty sure that we wouldn’t see any naturalists.

Our new motto: No shirt, no shoes, no problem!

Well… not really.

Dave
