Man Courts Would-Be Wife By Showing Off His Severe Mental Retardation

The things we do for love:

The couple were discussing marriage early Wednesday when the woman said she wasn't sure if she was ready, according to Ann Arbor police reports. The man responded that taking risks is an important part of life and, to prove his point, jumped out of a first-floor window and ran naked across the street.

Before he could return, he spotted a couple walking and hid in some bushes to avoid them. A 28-year-old man noticed the bushes rustling and bare feet underneath, then drew a .40-caliber handgun and ordered the naked man out, police said.

The naked suitor ran away, but the armed man gave chase and threatened to shoot, police said. The gunman fired a shot and the naked man fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries.

As the woman remains unconvinced, he plans to next show the value of taking risks by engaging in the dangerous "extreme sport" that's sweeping the nation: alligator taint-polishing.
