This is small boat related and told to me by an English friend.  Quite a few
years ago, several rowers were out on a local river.  They stopped at a
grassy clearing along the banks.  Being a warm bright day, they decided to
strip down nude to enjoy the sun.  Just after they had shed all their
clothing along came a skif rowed by several ladies.  The women saw them and
were clearly shocked (I said this was from a bygone era).  The men quickly
grabbed hats to hide their privates from further embarrassing view.  Except
one rower who instead just as quickly covered just his face and remained
exposed below.  After the women had passed, the others asked him why.  He
replied, "Gentlemen, I am recognized by my face not my genitals!"
