I was watching television news from Detroit tonight and the cliches were flying on a story about a man who apparently set himself on fire in an Ann Arbor park.
The quotes aren't exact but basically here's what had me shaking my head.
"People were concerned when they came across a burning naked body," the reporter said in all seriousness.
Really, who gets concerned about a "burning, naked body."
Next was a statement that this was not the normal activity at this Ann Arbor park. Oh, really, they don't have naked burning bodies in this park everyday. Doesn't every park have a naked burning body every day.
The police chief offered the opinion that this was not foul play. The reporter then asked if it was a possible suicide.
I so badly wanted the chief to say it was a case of spontaneous combustion, but alas, she was much more polite than me.
Then the chief told the reporter that the "naked burning body" expired at the hospital.
Gosh, if only someone had paid to update his license, he wouldn't have expired.
At least the guy wasn't "fleeing on foot."
