Odd Headline of the Day...

Naked man hijacks bus carrying students

Yeah, that'll get your attention right there...
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- An angry, naked man commandeered a school bus full of teenage students Thursday in Atlanta, police said.

The man drove the bus for less than a mile before a student confronted him and the bus crashed into a wall off the road, according to police.

And in the running for "euphemism of the year" is this line:
Students fled the bus, many using the back door emergency exit, and onlookers subdued the man until police arrived.

Folks, this is Georgia, a place where "he needed killin'" is a valid defense. I'd bet pretty much any amount that "onlookers subdued the man" is a polite way of saying "beat him like a piƱata on Cinqo de Mayo". Something tells me this dude got a beating that made Rodney King go "DAMN!"...

It is a shame to see the pants-free lifestyle taken too far, though...

That is all.

Oh, I'm sure that when the authorities asked about the bumps, welts & bruises on the gentleman, the teens all said "gosh, the poor guy must've fallen down or something". :)

Pants free ?

He must have been doing it as a tribute to Teddy.
