Naked Sweaty Guy Strikes Again!

How not to have fun at 3 a.m.!

They don't pay me enough to do this job...

Edited to add:  that's why I don't do this job.  I'm putting words in the mouths of the people involved in the story I linked to....

A friend of mine who works in law enforcement has a term for this kind thing.  Naked Sweaty Guy. Sometimes, due to drugs or alcohol or mental illness or some unfortunate combination of the above, guys--and they seem to almost always be guys--just go berserk. Typically their body temperature spikes and they get overheated and are prone to stripping off their clothes. Hence naked and sweaty.

In this state they tend to be invulnerable to reason and remarkably resistance to physical force.  Note that the suspect was irrational and hostile, smashed a plate glass window with his fist, doing himself an injury that he apparently either didn't feel or simply ignored, fought the police, fought the police dog, bit through the appliance power cord, and seemed largely immune to injury or pain.  Classic naked sweaty guy behavior, despite the fact that this guy wasn't completely naked.

I think you definately deserve hazzard pay. Not only because of the insanity, but let me guess who had to help clean up that mess, hmmm? I hope you were all using gloves. Who knows what the jerk was on, or what he might have had. ::shiver:: Blood can be dangerous.

I think you should get one of those combat pins. Maybe one of those old electricity guy pins to show you were involved in that battle. ::grin::

I think you misunderstand. When I say "that don't pay me enough for this job" I mean that's why I don't do that job. I have a friend who works in law enforcement, which is close enough for me, thanks.

But I'd say he certainly deserves all those accolades.

You're right. I had thought you were involved.

I work at a school for troubled teens. It's also a girl's residential facility. There have been the occasional riots, big fights, etc.

I'm a secretary. I make myself scarce when that stuff happens. I fully admit to my cowardess. $7.50/hr isn't enough to get involved. Nope.

I'm more amused by the title of the paper than the story (with was high-larious), mostly because it made me imagine Peter Griffin being the naked sweaty guy.

I can see that. Peter Griffin....

Naked? Check. On numerous occasions.
Involved in drunken altercations? Check.
Impervious to reason? All the time.
Impervious to pain and injury? Sometimes (he's a toon).
