Thong-Wearing Florida Biker Agrees to Cover Up in Future

In a story released by Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/story) 55 year old Richard Irby has agreed to not wear his thong while riding his bike in his residential area.

Mr. Irby was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct when residents in the trailer park that he resides in complained about his thong wearing. Residents claim that while Mr. Irby was wearing his thong his genitals wear exposed. Since the agreement, Mr. Irby has told the Tallahassee Democrat that he now wears a pair of bicycle shorts that covers passed his knees.

While reading this story all I could was laugh. I mean a 55 year old man wearing a thong. How gross is that? How could a man, any man, feel comfortable in wearing a thong, let alone ride a bike while wearing one? Our culture today is definately different than it was several years ago. He's lucky that he wasn't charged with some kind of sex crime that would have put him on the sex offender list. The residents of the trailer park had to be horrified when they seen him ride his bike. I know as a parent I would have been outraged. I wouldn't want my children to have see that display. I believe in comfort, but come on give me a break. There's a difference in being comfortable in exercising, than being disgusting while you do it. I'm certainly am glad that the residents complained.

I wonder what went through the judges mind when this case appeared in his court. For that matter, I wonder what went through the mind of the responding officer. I know in the police departments that I worked for all of the officers who would have been working that night would have responded just for the laugh. The jokes about this case would be told every day at the police department with no end in sight.

I guess it's true what they say, anything can happen in America.
