Connecticut man shows up naked and late for dental appointment

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I know going to the dentist is scary but so much so that it would scare the shirt, pants and underwear off of you?   What a weenie!

STRATFORD, Conn. (AP) — Police say a Connecticut man has been arrested because he showed up at a dental office naked. Police say 41-year-old Christopher Hoff, of Stratford, also was five days late for his appointment. Authorities said Hoff entered Optimus Dental’s office Monday with nothing on. A startled female receptionist screamed, and he ran away.

 Officers went to his home, and Hoff told them he had been sleeping all day. Police took Hoff to the dental office, where the receptionist identified him.

 Hoff was charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency and failure to comply with fingerprinting.

 He did not immediately return a telephone message left Wednesday at his home. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.

Memorial Park Cemetery on Indianapolis’ far east side is offering plots at the bargain-basement price in one section of its grounds. It’s not another telling sign of the recession. General Manager Mark McCronklin says it’s a promotion the cemetery has run for several years around Memorial Day.

I don’t know about everyone reading this but I thought this was pretty much common sense, I am glad the city council can stay busy though!

The city council in Brooksville north of Tampa recently approved a dress code that instructs employees to observe “strict personal hygiene.”

It also prohibits exposed underwear, clothing with foul language, “sexually provocative” clothes and piercings anywhere except the ears.

Repeat offenders can be fired.

The city council approved the dress code 4-1 as part of a wider effort to update existing policies and ordinances.

The one vote in opposition came from Mayor Joe Bernadini. He said the underwear edict “takes away freedom of choice.”
