Halloween Modesty Relationship

Halloween gives us a rare opportunity to see the Utah Skank in a candid environment. For those not familiar with the Skank, it is a mutation of the common female, and exists in varying degrees in nearly all women. It's commonly hard to detect, because like a Hermit-crab/Chameleon a skank will hide underneath her clothes and blend in with its social environment. However, for reasons that are not yet known to scientists, Halloween removes some of the skank's inhibitions allowing it to show it's true colors. A simple way to tell if a girl is a skank is to, on Halloween observe how much clothing she wears. Below I've sketched a simple relationship of the level of skankiness, and and clothing worn on Halloween


To give us some sort of a feel for where women fall on this scale, I've included some points that represent costumes you might see tonight. point A represents a schoolmarm dressed as a Yettie, or perhaps a nun dressed as a Sherpa, very little skankiness with the corresponding full body clothing. Point b Represents a cocktail waitress dressed as a nurse in a white pleather bikini, or a tattoo artist named Binky dressed as a saran wrap mummy. Notice that the graph approaches naked asymptotically, this is because the even a pure skank needs something to indicate what her costume is.
So to make a long story short, women be weary so observers don't mistake you for a Skank this Halloween.

My favorite is when my friend nikki showed up to the hollywood house party in a gorilla suit. For us it wouldn't be a SKank SKale but rather a ugly scale.

I completely agree and appreciate the visual. Boys tend to take this halloween time to dress scantily as well. Speedos or anything spandex and short shorts tend to appear a lot more on the this "blessed" holiday than any other day.

I love your little graph and explanation Dave. Hee hee. It's funny because it's so true! Why don't people just forgo the nurse "costume" and go as their true selves- skanks? It would make my heart so happy to hear someone answer the question "what is your costume?" by answering "oh. I just thought I'd come as a SKANK. These little angel wings are just a decoy."

Also, nice use of the word asymptotically. I thought I knew what it meant but I had to look it up to be sure. Are you studying economics?
