75	* The ''MissUSA'' BeautyContest once planned for the swimsuit competition to have the ladies wearing a fur coat, but host [[Series/ThePriceIsRight Bob Barker]] was in PETA by then, and said he would leave if they did that, so fake fur coats were used instead, which still counts (he did leave later on, because furs were still offered as prizes).

80	* Take those geothermically warm natural pools in Iceland where people can swim or laze in comfortably hot water while the outside air temperature is minus ten, centigrade. It's great once you're in the pool. But do you think people walk from the changing room to the pool wearing ''only'' a bathing costume? This is where a fur coat becomes functional, as well as decorative.
