Howard was struggling to find a partner. Fed up, he asked his friend, Patrick, for advice.

“I got my first date with my wife by putting a big potato down my bathers at the local pool,” said Patrick. “She couldn’t take her eyes off me.”

Howard decided to try the trick for himself. A week later, he met up with Ron again.

“How did it go?”

“Awful,” said Howard. “People took one look and ran away.”

“That doesn’t make sense,” said Ron. “Let me see.”

Howard donned his bathers and carefully positioned the potato.

Ron looked at his friend and sighed. “Howard, you have to put the potato down the front of your bathers.”
