Recently, I had the chance to spend some time at a hotel in the middle of Lancaster County – the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country.  I was able to see some sights I don’t normally witness at home.  For instance, one morning as I breakfasted, I saw an Amish gentleman driving his horse-drawn buggy along the side of the road.  Several minutes later, he was followed by three young girls garbed in traditional long dresses and bonnets, carrying their schoolbooks.  After I finished eating, I was depositing my empty plate in a nearby trash can when my eyes spotted a rather surprising, laminated flier.  “Nana’s Naughty Knickers,” it read.  I was shocked.  Why on earth was something about racy lingerie taking up residence in such an idyllic, old-fashioned setting?

If you’re like most people from around the world, over the past couple of weeks you’ve been watching the XXI Winter Olympics being held in Vancouver, Canada.  During the Summer and Winter Games, the events themselves are the primary attractions of course, but there are always many other interesting features for fans to absorb.  There are the personal stories of the athletes themselves; the sights, sounds, and histories of the host venues; and the international political tensions that sometimes arise among the disparate group of competing nations.  But, let’s face it, all of that can get a bit tiresome.  There’s been another topic of conversation, throughout these and previous Olympic Games, which merits some attention as well.  And that topic is underwear.
