Headline of day: "Nebraska deputy stops pickup truck full of naked people"

"Lancaster County authorities say a deputy investigating a suspicious vehicle near Lincoln got a surprise when he stopped a pickup truck -- all four people inside were naked. (...) The sheriff's office says the deputy noticed a strong smell of alcohol as he approached the truck. In the bed, he found clothes. In the truck were two men and two women, all naked." (thanks, Kirk! also spotted via @fark)

  Whoa, whoa, wait– alcohol and nakedness together? Holy smokes! That IS headline news!

• [MrsBug]

  When I saw the short blurb that mentioned Lancaster County, I immediately thought of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and thought, “Oh those naughty Amish – naked, drunk AND in a truck.”

• [chillitom]

  Cops always have super-human senses of smell don’t they? When I approach a pick-up I smell exhaust and gasoline, cops can smell past that and detect alcohol (and in other cases marijuana), amazing!

  Funny he couldn’t smell the scent of sex in this case though.

      *can’t

      I think you meant “caint”.

      And while we’re at it, “nekkid”.

  Oh my God, it’s a stick shift, this thing must be a Gemini…

• [Ugly Canuck]

  I find it oddly comforting to know that somewhere out there, there may well be a pick-up truck full of naked people.

  • [Donald Petersen]

    If there isn’t, let me know… and there soon will be!

    “Big deal, I’m naked right now.”

    with three of your friends?
    while drinking?
    in a pickup truck?

  the new terrorist plot… everyone is so distracted with the nakedness, that they never see the Semtex

  For the past dozen or so years annually, the motorcycle club I belong to has a naked ride. In Santa Cruz (California) it’s not technically illegal to be naked in public as long as you are not being lewd.

  A couple years ago on a 42 degree night we got pulled over by a Highway Patrol officer. He was absolutely livid, we had to wait out naked in the cold in the middle of the street with his patrol car parked along side us without its lights on. Hoping not to have an inattentive driver mow us down until the local PD arrived at the scene and made him let us go.

  A number of videos from various years can be found by searching “santa cruz naked ride” on google.

    Yes seric but, that’s Santa Cruz. Last time I drove through Santa Cruz I was stopped at an intersection because a man in a dress was dancing in the strreet. Santa Cruz.
