Okay, okay... I got about a half-dozen comments privately to the general effect that it must have been a sight to see my wife march in to class naked, with nothing in her hand but a pencil. Ho ho, whatever. Note that the naked part was entirely missing from the comment I sent in. (Sheesh! Where are you're minds???) Hypothetically, if a student had guts enough to do so, going to class naked to take a test might have the same effect as the one I suggested about going to the test dressed to the nines. If it puts the rest of the class off their game, while not damaging one's own performance, then it could be a ploy that enhances one's competitive position relative to the rest of the class. I reckon the same thing could be said for wearing a Santa Claus suit or green hair or a clown nose....
