Tail Light

Someone at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Wash., called police at 3:30 a.m. after seeing something unusual in the beam of a streetlight: the “illuminated buttocks” of a jogger. Police confirm the man was “wearing nothing but black Sketchers sneakers,” and detained him. When questioned, the unnamed man told officers he was “trying to build up his immune system to fight the cold weather.” Officers declined to press charges, and let him go. “We do not have pictures to share of this incident,” police said in a statement. “You are welcome.” (RC/Seattle Times) ...Declined to press charges? Well, it was micro and soft.
