  1. Why were they naked to unload the barrels?

    1. Maybe they didn't want to have to dry their uniforms . . . or they might have just liked being naked.

    2. Suppose 1 of the drums leaked. That could really put a stain on a uniform.

    3. Good point, Jim. They weren't too careful about leaks in those days.
