Man in buff startles drivers on California freeway

[Nagishkaw 510]

LOS ANGELES – Southern California commuters can now say they've seen it all, including a naked man in the middle of Interstate 405. California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada said the first call came at the height of rush-hour Thursday — a man with no clothes was in the center divide of the freeway. Then came a rush of calls reporting the man in the buff.

Long Beach police detained the 21-year-old man and gave him a mental health evaluation.

Police said he was taken into custody and will be charged with misdemeanor indecent exposure.

No wonder so many people were able to see him -- do you know what the 405 is like during rush hour?

So just because he was naked, they assumed he had mental health problems?

"Why do they call it "rush hour" when nothing moves?"

No, because he was naked and in the middle of the 405 freeway.

No, because he was naked and in the middle of the 405 freeway.

Exactly. Who would choose to be on the 405 in rush hour unless it was absolutely necessary?

I smell a prank. Pants some dude, and kick him out in the middle of the freeway. That would be something me and me compadres would have done, living in the San Fernando Valley, some 30 years ago.

From one Valley denizen to another, I salute you.

It's a great place to be from. There are not a lot of surprises left in the world any more.

Good thing it wasn't Eric. His gigantic dong would have been an even bigger distraction.
