Nude icy weather jogger gives police the slip

A naked jogger has braved sub-zero temperatures to evade New York police.

It's the third time the mystery runner has been spotted in the Binghamton district over the past few days, where a small amount of snow has fallen.

He's been seen running naked around a six-storey car park.

In the most recent incident, police were called by workers in a nearby office building who spotted him.

Witnesses say the man was wearing only a red cloth on his head.

But he had vanished by the time police arrived.

If he didn't give his slip to the police, he wouldn't be naked.

[Revolting cat!]

I gotta tell ya, cold weather, real, real cold, can be a better remedy than Viagra! Try it sometime!

[Pistolshot]

Since it was so cold, there must not have been much to see.

Some people just need ro reveal their shortcomings

Yeah that brings back a lyric from a song then, I think it was "Running bare, between the Bushes". Er, that kinda brings back the nineties.

The red bandanna is a sure-fire giveaway.

Not this year, he hasn't ... It didn't get below 40F last night in NYC. I don't believe it has even been below 28F in NYC yet this Nov... In fact, I doubt it has been below 36F...

[AFPhys]

whoops: ... NYC=Binghamton

[Grampa Dave]

Is Political Correctness preventing a description of this frozen whacko and the publishing of specific measurements to identify him.

So Jacko's into streaking, too?

[Mr. Silverback]

inquest: If the cops don't get him, frostbite will. And it can get him in the most unexpected places.

logic101.net: Darwin award?

He would only get the Darwin Award if it becomes non-functional, he's unlikely to die streaking even in NY in winter. Every year at the Air Force winter safety briefings I went to the speaker would remind us that the "other" on his "Frostbite injuries broken down by areas of the body" chart represented an area we would reeeeeally regret losing...

[crystalk]

Subzero is coming to mean "below freezing"-- ie below zero Celsius.

[realpatriot71]

I'm not so sure the cold is the best time to be showing off "the junk," ya know?

[b4its2late]

Remeber, they deal in celsius in bloody 'ole England .... And it has been below 32 F several days this month....

Mark,

Well, the Darwin Award is not a factor yet since this guy has not, as far as I know, assumed room temperature. But he definitely sounds like a liberal.... And, thanks for the link to your site.
