The Healthiest, Happiest and Sanest People are Nudists

Thanks to Ron Kermode for sending in this un-attributed article:
According to the United States National Commission on Mental Health, the
healthiest, happiest and sanest people are nudists. After six years of studying
hundreds of groups and organisations and rating the mental health of their
members, the Commission found that naturists came out on top.
"The nudists came out so far in front that virtually every other group
studied looks like a gathering of lunatics, perverts and criminals in
comparison," said Dr Edward Harper Moore, spokesman for the Commission.
A sociologist who was on the teaching staff at Harvard University before
joining the Commission, Dr Moore says he was so impressed with the statistics on
nudists that he and his family now practice naturism themselves.
As a group, the nudists had the lowest rate in the nation for crime, suicide,
mental breakdowns, divorce, and time lost from work because of illness. It was
also found that their children had much higher average intelligence, the lowest
number of high-school drop-outs, the highest number of university scholarship
winners and college graduates and the highest number of star athletes.
Funny then that Studland Police spend so much time
looking for perverts amongst our number!
