I saw the following elsewhere but it brought back memories.
Exposing your bare buttocks in public has been officially made a crime in the Australian state of Victoria.
Known as mooning, the cheeky offence was previously punishable under other laws but is now banned under specific legislation.
First-time offenders face up to two months in jail while repeat offenders could spend six months behind bars.
The amendment was one of more than 50 crimes included in an overhaul of sexual offence laws.
The updated legislation has been designed, in part, to separate pranks involving nudity from acts of sexual exposure.
The Summary Offences Act states that "behaviour that is indecent offensive or insulting includes behaviour that involves a person exposing (to any extent) the person's anal or genital region".
It specifically cites "mooning or streaking" as an example of such an offence.
The act also outlaws singing "an obscene song or ballad" and behaving in a "riotous, indecent, offensive or insulting manner".
Memories
When my son was in his early twenties him and his mates decided to have a night out in the city.
They went by train, they were going to be responsible adults, no drink driving for them.
As the night wore on it dawned on them they were pushing it to catch the last train home so finishing their drinks they ran to the train station.
Their train was leaving from platform three, as they got through the turnstile they saw the train moving.
They ran along the platform but alas they thought too late.
So two of them decided to moon the train, too much drink I think.
The train was pulling in not pulling out.
Passengers reported them and the two offenders were put in the cells for the night.
Well it was supposed to be for the night but the guys on duty thought it would be more of a deterent if they chucked them out at 4.30am
