ROME (AFP) - An Italian man obliged to go commando because of his wide girth was resting easier Saturday after a court dropped obscenity charges resulting from an highly embarrassing moment at the shops.
The man, whose name and age were not disclosed by Italy's domestic ANSA news agency, was inside a supermarket reaching up to a shelf when his pants split at the seam, revealing nothing but his bare bottom.
Outraged, a couple of women shoppers nearby screamed in horror. Police soon rushed to the scene and arrested the man on suspicion of committing an obscene act in a public place.
Defending himself in a court in Gallarate, a medieval town of 50,000 in Lombardy, northern Italy, he said that due to an obesity problem, he could not find underwear in his size, ANSA reported. Indeed, he had gone to the supermarket that very day to see if he could find something that would fit, he added.
The judge dropped the charges, ruling that the man had not committed an obscene act or not had he offended morals.
LMAO.
