A man was relaxing on the beach one sunny afternoon, stretched out comfortably on the sand.
He wasn’t wearing much at all — in fact, the only thing covering him was a small cap placed carefully over his private area.
People passing by tried not to stare, but one woman walking along the shore couldn’t help noticing him.
She stopped beside him, looked down with disapproval, and shook her head.
“Well,” she said, “if you were any sort of gentleman, you would lift your hat to a lady.”
The man opened one eye, looked up at her, and paused for a moment.
Then he smiled and replied:
“If you were any sort of a hot lady, the hat would lift by itself.”
