An American passenger disembarked because he wears a thong as a mask

For almost two years now, the coronavirus protection mask has become an accessory of everyday life.He is one of the barrier gestures imposed by all governments, and no one can escape it.

A controversy swells more and more, because if the mask is compulsory in transport (train, plane, bus ...) it is possible to remove it to drink and eat ... In other words, if you make a trip of 7hours and that you drink and eat throughout this time, you are exempt from wearing the mask!Maybe?

After the story of the passenger who nibbled on pringles for 4 hours to avoid carrying a mask on the plane in order to demonstrate the absurdity of the thing, an American chose a slightly special garment as a mask: a thongred !The least we can say is that it doesn’t really have more to the United Airlines company.We explain to you!

The man told the NBC2 channel that each important change in the United States came from normal citizens.And he quoted Rosa Parks!The comparison is daring anyway, right?

As for the airline, the joke does not seem to have had the expected effect.The man was prevented from getting on board since he did not respect the federal obligation to wear a mask.

But by the way, where does the thong come from?

We could think that the thong is a recent garment, invented so that women (or men) have one more rope to their arc in the game of seduction ... Error!In fact, the first thong was found on Ötzi, the “mummy of the ice cream”, dated over 5300 years ... The Egyptians were therefore already carrying thongs, but at the time they were called "cache" or "loincloth»».They were made with strings.

The thong that we know today was invented thanks to Fiorello Laguardia, mayor of New York in 1939.During the universal exhibition, the mayor refused that the dancers were completely naked ... The artists themselves imagined the thong to be able to dance!

As for its marketing in the current form, it was not until 1981 for the thong became a naughty underwear.Frederick Mellinger is the inventor.He is also the one who invented the push-up bra.

The mask, this essential protection!

Will it be enough to save Christmas?It is still very uncertain and the millions of non -vacinated people are now in the sights of the French government ... The "health pass" will quickly become a "vaccination pass" and the vaccination obligation seems close.The mask, on the other hand, remains compulsory in public transport, shopping centers.If you leave your region for the holidays, beware, some French departments also continue to impose it outdoors.
