Remember all those nudist camp jokes on TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES?

My brother-in-law held up a funeral once. That was a bad day too — it was for a former police chief. He got SO MANY TICKETS!

Even if it was a rich nudist colony, where would he find the cash?

He couldn’t handle the bare facts

The truth…nothing like the naked truth…..

robin hood holding up a nudist colony? that must have been hard.

There’s no booty in a nudist colony?

Is everyone Sid James now?

Wasn’t that the best time? They voluntarily separated themselves from their valuables, etc?

He’ll never catch a nudist with his pants down.

Just because nudists don’t wear clothes, they don’t own anything of value for him to steal? I think he just wasn’t trying very hard — all the blood must have left his brain and gone elsewhere.

From a sketch on The Carol Burnett Show, where Carol is a resident of a nudist colony (hidden from the neck down by a tall fence), being interviewed by a reporter:

Q: How do nudists dance?

Carol: Cheek to cheek.

I heard once that she made a point of touching her face as she delivered that line, in order to mollify the censors who didn’t want the audience to think she was talking about those cheeks.

“And it wasn’t just the coffers that were bare.”

No pockets.
