| Thong-Wearing Men Arrested at Wal-Mart | |
| 2004-07-29 | |
| Two men who were arrested for walking through a Wal-Mart while wearing women's thong underwear blamed the stunt on a "triple-dog dare," authorities said. The men, ages 35 and 36, bought two pair of underwear at the store Tuesday, went into a bathroom and came out wearing only the thongs and T-shirts, police said. Witnesses said the men walked through the store and out to their car. Police caught the men in the parking lot, and reviewed a surveillance tape before arresting them for public indecency and disorderly conduct. When asked why they were wearing thong underwear, one of the men said a friend "triple-dog dared" them. They will not be prosecuted, authorities said. As a perceptive commenter said on another post a couple of weeks ago, I would imagine the words preceding this event were "Here, hold my beer."

| #6 My co-workers double-dog-dared me to wear my kilt to work. That was easy. One person asked me were those my legs or was I riding a chicken.I wouldn't look good in a thong, though. |

| #5 Shipman is this the story you had in mind? Circa 2/13/04 Magnolia, Arkansas-AP -- A Wal-Mart cashier thought there was something suspicious about a customer at an Arkansas store. It may have been the handcuffs he was wearing. It may have been the bolt cutters he was buying. It may have been the hour -- 4:30 in the morning. The clerk called police after completing the sale. Officers caught the man, just minutes later. It turned out he'd been arrested in Louisiana the night before, but kicked out a window in a police car and fled. |

| #2 They will not be prosecuted . . . The humiliation, and the photos, are probably punishment enough. |
