One other great use of a sarong is a mini shower stall --- In South East Asia you'll see everyone from road crews to farmers to taxi drivers taking their noon wash-ups in the nearest stream wearing these things - modesty is preserved, everyone gets clean and the light cotton things dry in no time by just wringing out the "skirt" by hand while you are wearing it.
