When a Michigan man ran into a bit of nervous hesitation on the part of his intended bride, He informed her that taking risks was part of life. In a really, really stupid way to prove the point, the man then jumped out of the window wearing nothing but his birthday suit and ran across the street. When he noticed a couple walking down the street, he suddenly discovered his discretion and hid in some bushes. Unfortunately, a passerby noticed the rustling bushes and a pair of bare feet sticking out.
The passerby happened to have a gun.
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.
Before he could return, he spotted a couple walking and hid in some bushes to avoid them. A 28-year-old man noticed the bushes rustling and bare feet underneath, then drew a .40-caliber handgun and ordered the naked man out, police said.
The naked suitor ran away, but the armed man gave chase and threatened to shoot, police said. The gunman fired a shot and the naked man fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries.
The gunman was arrested but later released when the risk-taker decided he didn't want to press charges. No word on whether his risky behavior landed him a bride or convinced her that he was too dumb to marry.
Darwinism strikes again.
Nah, he missed. Lousy shot.
