Letter: Columnist needs someone to check thong facts
(03/17/03 5:00am)
In her March 7 column, "One Night Stand-Off," Faran Krentcil does a wonderful job of describing the very real issues of protocol faced by young adults after they grope one another in the dark after too much beer. I must confess that, even though I was an altar boy for some time in the early 90s, I was delighted by her sleazy tales! It was like the poor man's Decameron. Then I came upon this passage, in which Krentcil talks about how strange it is for a young woman to get naked with a young man and then not have him say hello to her after their shared buffness: "But 'hello' isn't a marriage proposal. It's saying you're not embarrassed. It means you had a good time, and that we didn't look fat in our Furla thong."
