Naked man presents Victoria cops with philosophical dilemma
VANCOUVER,CANADA - Existentialism 101: What do you do with a naked man? Well, Victoria police officers — understandably — wanted to know why a naked man on Monday was walking the city streets — except for a few moments when a woman placed a towel around him. But when asked why he was naked, the man instead questioned officers as to why they were walking around in clothes. "Point taken," the officers write on the Victoria Police blog. "Unable to reconcile this philosophical paradox, the officers conveyed the man to hospital for a mental-health assessment.
Maybe the best police report I've ever read. But why send this dude for a mental health assessment? All you philosophy majors out there know that this is a perfectly legitimate question. Why indeed do we walk around in clothes? I get it when it's cold outside, but what about those perfect 75-degree days? Huh? There are lots of places in the world where it's okay to drop trou and parade around in your birthday suit. What if this guy just felt way too hot and uncomfortable by wearing clothes? Should we force him to wear them? Isn't that cruel? Free this political prisoner immediately! (Unless of course he's really gross looking. Nobody wants to see that shit.)
