• A man walked into a bar in Tunstall, England, naked from the waist down and carrying a bag of sex toys. “If anyone has a problem with me they can take it outside,” he told customers before the police arrived, who found him to be in possession of amphetamine. (The 51-year-old told police he “may have taken too much” of the drug.) [The Sentinel]
