TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (228)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Associated Press (from Thursday, July 16; link good at time of posting):

Lincoln [Nebraska] police arrested a man who they said made up a story about being robbed to explain why he was walking around a city park naked. Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said the man was arrested and jailed Wednesday night on suspicion of indecent exposure and making a false statement to police.

Police found the man naked in a southwest Lincoln city park on Monday. He told police a man with a gun tried to rob him, but he did not have any money, so the robber took his clothes.

Flood said the man really took off his clothes because he was hot. He walked around naked for about an hour, but afterward, he couldn't find his clothes.
