A Good Rule of Thumb

An axiom that's served me well over the years is always to be wary of men over 50 who make a habit of parading around in public shirtless. Nothing good ever comes of that, in the end.

That's a photo at left of Rusian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, 57, which was released today. Remember his photos from prior years of shirtless fly fishing and shirtless bear hunting?

And does he also shave his chest? If so, I hope for all our sakes that he's mulling a career change to Olympic swimming, or porn.....
