The mother of a friend of mine was during her childhood in a "girls only school". One of the other girls was very shy and put blankets around her bed before she would undress so no one would see her naked, even partially. Must have been quite an act every evening. Anyway, one day said mother took the shy girl and told her: "Listen, what I can see on you I can touch on me, so cut the bull****." I found this very amusing.
