England’s Independent Television weather reporter Fred Talbot was doing a live segment from the Liverpool Docks in front of a large map when a naked man jumped into the picture and ran around on the map. The man first ran from England to Wales, but fell off the map — and into the water next to the dock — trying to jump from Scotland to Northern Ireland. “He told us he had done it because it was a sunny day and it was a bit of fun,” Richard Maddeley, the show’s host, said after interviewing the man. “Anyone who fails to see the funny side needs a sense-of-humor transplant.” (AP) ...Mr. Maddeley didn’t say which side he thought was more funny.
