ON STREAKERS A well known and charming lady rushed Into the Captiva Post Office the other day, and upon being asked how she liked ihe windy weather replied in a voice loud enough for al! those present to hear: "My groins are completely denuded." And an Edison Community CoHege official, in talking about some streakers who recently invaded the coiiege: "Well, it disproves one adage, for not aii men are created equal," he said. Did you hear about the Indian streaker whose name is Running Bear? Then there's the story about the two Indians who asked the chieftain for his daughter's hand in marriage. The Chief toid the braves that whoever proved himseif by being released nude in the winter in a remote spot could return in ihe spring and claim his daughter's hand. Well, Standing Indian did return, but the Chief was unwilling to give his daughter up until the other Indian was heard from. To this day you will stilJ see signs in the area saying.- "Watch out for Failing Rock," who has never returned.
