Naked Man Tries To Catch A Flight
 
A man who was denied a plane ticket on Quantas at LA International due to lack of credit card decided to "show them a thing or two".
The distraught man stipped naked, ran onto the tarmac after the moving plane and jumped into the wheel well.
The plane was stopped and the man eventually arrested.

I wonder if the TSA made him put his clothes back on before strip-seaching him?

Oh, you saw me?

Taking that "Pack Light" mantra entirely too seriously.

Several passengers on the ill-fated flight were heard to exclaim,
"What an ass!"

I saw a full frontal picture of that guy and can say that he WAS NOT armed and dangerous.

Degas, I was just swimming in cold water!

Were you circumcized?

Not until it got caught in the hydraulics

I don't know why it made the news - it was no big thing.

The sad thing is, from what I read is that this man had severe mental problems.

Last week this same man visited all the local newsrooms and went quite wild. He was in ours for 45 minutes and would not leave.
Security allowed him into the building because he was wearing his work uniform...
Turns out he works for Canada Post.

LoveItaly: well, I'll watch the papers and when I see an article about a naked lady running up and down I-80, I'll know it's you and you've finally gone round the bend...well, you won't be alone for long...I'm right "behind" you!!!

Oh Crefloors!! b( How great to hear fromn you. The funny thing is Thursday I went by the old NutTree and thought of our fun conversation and wondered how you were doing.

Now my dear, may I suggest we at least have on a fluffy robe or something? I mean honestly we don't want to be the cause of one more accident on I-80 due to horrified drivers colliding into each other, do we?
Have a great weekend.

Well, I've got my Garfield slippers, so that's it for me!!!! Tiptoe through the tar weed.

LoveItaly Nov 6th, 2004 01:15 PM

OK Crefloors, you win! LOL. Our local boring newspaper hasn't had an interesting or fun article for months and months so am quite sure the locals will appreciate this wonderful idea of yours!!! ROTFL.
