appeared to be under the influence of an unidentified inebriant

Probably axle grease and peppermint oil. Kids are calling it Green Christmas.

You had me at “Florida man”….

I like how we’re not putting “Florida Man” in the headline anymore.

Like, you don’t even need to, everything else about the headline tells you.

I had the same idea, but a different source…

Naked and smeared in wheel-bearing grease and peppermint oil

Must have been Saturday.

I will cop to it that my job occasionally involves physically restraining men, some of whom are rather slippery, and many of whom are wearing fewer clothes than is preferable. But I wear gloves when doing so, and find myself criticizing the officers’ approach.

He was trained by the very best.

I’m the age of Fentanyl and opioids, meth has really fallen out of public awareness. But not for everyone.

C’mon, you can’t just leave that there without elaboration.

I’m assuming “massage therapist”, but maybe not. Maybe “slippery naked guy wrangling” is actually a recognized profession. Possibly only in Florida, though.

But where do the officers come in?

@angusm

Possibly only in Florida

Oh. Yeah.

A couple things…

Hello dermatitis.

In my head I’m guessing things. And I have the feeling they’re all wrong, and the answer will be something I never thought of.

Just ordinary, run-of-the-mill psychology work! In a particular kind of setting.

Trampolines?

Not surprisingly, the excellent scene in which Tom Hardy’s Bronson forces the prison librarian to grease him up in anticipation of wrestling multiple guards is not on YouTube. Below is just the lead-in.

the side betting on this would be a lot of fun!
oh! now i can hardly wait for it to be mentioned in Carl Hiaason’s newest novel!

Interesting that they just kinda touch him with bare hands. Whenever I see German police arrest anyone these days (on TV!) they seem to be wearing either leather or disposable gloves.
