You Are No DogI don't know why some people think they are good enough to be like dogs.
First there was this electrician in Oakland, California, who was arrested last October when he was caught working in the nude. A customer had hired Percy Honniball to do some wiring work, and came home early one day only to find Honniball in the house completely naked. He explained to police that he decided to strip before crawling under the house to avoid dirtying his clothes, and because working nude gives him a better "range of motion." Maybe he was wanted to use his Sawzall, and it was more ergonomic that way.
Honniball's reason may have been totally believable, but the cops still charged him with indecent exposure, with an extra penalty for having a strange name. This is the fourth time in six years that he has been arrested for working nude, and it cost him dearly. The homeowner in this case paid him for the job he completed, but deducted $200 to change all the locks in the house. And now he might have to go to jail where working naked is never a very good idea.
Then last Saturday a 23-year-old guy named Michael Urbano in Hayward, California -- yes, people are weird in California -- came home supposedly drunk and high at 2 in the morning, couldn't find the keys, and decided to climb down the chimney. About 3/4 of the way down, he got stuck. His cries for help eventually woke up his neighbors at 6:30 am, who summoned police because they thought he was a burglar. After the cops found him, they had to push him up from the bottom of the chimney while also hooking him and pulling him up from above. If the hook caught him only in the nose, he was lucky, because when they finally got him out, they discovered that he was completely naked. He said that before starting his chimney adventure, he took off all his clothes to "reduce friction." Apparently that wasn't enough to ensure a smooth descent. He is now also in jail on drug charges, maybe sharing a cell with his naked buddy Percy. They can compare war stories and wounds when they get bored.
Today's message is: Put your clothes on, people! Naked is for dogs. And a man has got to know his limitations.

The older I get, the more I wonder why humans think they are so smart! A naked human is worse than a dog wearing clothes.
Wow, people are soooooo strange!
I can't imagine how going under a house or down a chimney naked would seem like a good idea - ouch!

Connecticut,
Absolutely true. But this broke the sound barrier even for me.
John,
Haha. He must have one of those European 100V plugs.
Indy,
There are many days I am glad to be a dog.
