Man learns casino losses not deductible
DALLAS, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Organizers of a pantless ride on the Dallas public train system said about 70 people turned out to drop their trousers in the cold and ride the rails.
Brian Alguire and Chris Linville, organizers of Sunday's no-pants ride, said the event marked the first time Dallas Area Rapid Transit riders participated in what has become an annual tradition in many cities, The Dallas Morning News reported Monday.
The organizers said most of the participants were in their 20s but nearly every age group was represented.
The pair gave only vague reasons for organizing the unsanctioned event.
"Why not? I didn't have anything better to do today," Alguire said.
Participants offered similar reasons for coming out in the cold and shedding their pants.
"I'm a lifelong nudist. I usually stay in a warm place when being nude, though," said Ashley Ross, 19.
