[+] Dah! Don't mix colored and white loincloths! |

If you're going to wear a loincloth, be careful where you aim your treasure as you stoop down... you might scare the fish. |

I want a different rock. This one looks beat. |
|

Would it make you feel any better knowing the attendant sanitized it for your protection? |

Okay, I'm going down to the river to air out my dirty laundry right now. |

Widely Known To Exist - it's called camping. |

I think the whole beat-clothes-with-a-rock thing is fiction. I might push my clothes up against a rock, same as I'd push them against the side of a bucket, but beating sounds wrong. (Maybe somebody was softening leather or bark or something, to MAKE clothes ...) |

Drying clothes on a rock works pretty well, though. I once rigged up a clothesline, while the local women were spreading their clothes on sun-warmed boulders. They were peeling dried clothes off the rocks while I was still trying to hang clothes without clothespins. |
