We're Goin' Streaking!

The Washington Post has an interesting tale of love, nudity, and gun play in Ann Arbor (via the Bucknuts message board):
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A marriage-minded man ran naked through his neighborhood, trying to show his hesitant girlfriend that taking risks is important. He got more than he bargained for when he ended up being chased and shot at.
Sure, the guy running around naked to prove a point is pretty weird, but equally bizarre is the man who carries a gun on a walk with his girlfriend and shoots a naked man that's running away from him. Generally speaking, naked men trying to avoid me is not behavior I would want to punish.

I suspect, sadly, that the man and his potential bride-to-be aren't Michigan students. Why, you ask? This paragraph:
The couple were discussing marriage early Wednesday when the woman said she wasn't sure if she was ready, according to Ann Arbor police reports. The man responded that taking risks is an important part of life and, to prove his point, jumped out of a first-floor window and ran naked across the street.
If his girlfriend attended U of M, he wouldn't be jumping out the window to convince her to marry him. He'd be jumping out the window to escape! *rimshot*

But seriously, folks, I'm not one to spread false generalizations, but everyone in Ann Arbor is either a naked lunatic or a gun-toting maniac. Stay away from there.

Yeah, no kidding. It's bad luck if you're out for a naked run in the wee hours of the morning and someone sees you. It's incredibly bad luck if they then pull a gun and shoot you.

Bet he ends up breaking up with the girl in a month or two.

Or both.
