Dear McFartnuggets:
Why do people call me a “peeping tom”? My name is Anthony damnit! -- Anthony from Bridgewater, Conn.
Dear Anthony:
The name Peeping Tom comes from the legend of Lady Godiva. Lady Godiva was married to some guy who was taxing people. She felt bad for them so she asked her husband to stop taxing people and he would but only if she rode around town naked on a horse. The husband told everyone to stay inside and not to watch this happen, but a guy named Tom drilled a hole so he could watch and went blind. It sounds like I’m just making this up, but actually someone else made it up a long time ago. Now all because of that one bullshit story that makes no sense, everyone who watches women undress through their bedroom windows is called a Peeping Tom regardless of what their actual first name is. I guess it’s funny how life works sometimes.
