Interesting Comment on Facebook

I changed my profile picture on Facebook to this yesterday:

One of my friends made the comment "Do you shave your legs when yo wear something like that?"

What!?

My reply, "Why would I shave my legs?"

...when waxing works so much better?

Isn't it all to do with air flow and contra-rotating vortices causing knock knees due to pressure differences?

My wife made a simular comment about shaving my legs for the kilt, but for some silly reason she's been trying to get me to do that for years.

ASU, huh? Do you teach there, or have a child going to school?

My younger brother is a professor who teaches there. I lived in San Angelo as a child and have fond memories of the place. All my closest kinfolk are buried there too.

As for the leg-shaving comment, I'm assuming it was a (crude) attempt at teasing. Sometimes people think they have such witty senses of humour.

I was station in San Angelo at Goodfellow AFB for three months of US Army Intel training

I used to do that when I was diving regularly. Makes getting a wet suit off much more comfortable.

I think the "are you going to shave your legs" comment is to "get one's goat" by suggesting that you are wearing a woman's skirt, therefore "are you also going to shave your legs like a woman?" This doesn't endear me to the person asking this "question" and I really don't like the intimation.
Although I know that swimmers and body-builders shave their whole bodies

I hate facebook with a passion but when intended like the above the good point of facebook is: it's absolutely positively easy to DELETE anyone from your 'friends' list, thereafter not to be bothered by them anymore.

(I work as a mobile phone mechanic and sometimes people may have as many as 2500 facebook 'friends' on their phone, of which they actually know perhaps 50 people. The rest is implied status but actually quite pathetic imho)
