It would seem this would get a bit hot while sunbathing…

Useful to wear on a date with certain men, I would think.

So if you want to pick up women at the beach, all you need is a magnet?

It's important, if you come across a sawfish. I've never seen a filefish, though.

This bathing suit looks like a lightning magnet. Make sure you ground it properly.
