Weapons of mass daring unleashed
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. - Two men were arrested for walking through a Wal-Mart while wearing women's thong underwear.
The men, ages 35 and 36, bought two pair of underwear at the store Tuesday, went into a bathroom and came out wearing only the thongs and T-shirts, police said.
Police caught the men in the parking lot, and reviewed a surveillance tape before arresting them for public indecency and disorderly conduct.
When asked why they were wearing thong underwear, one of the men said a friend "triple-dog dared" them.
