TOKYO — Ever find yourself in a really awkward or compromising situation? The kind where you wish the earth would split open and swallow you up, or you could somehow be whisked away to some magic faraway land where you’d never have to show your face to the real world again? We’re pretty sure that’s what this 55-year-old university lecturer was feeling when he was found on campus, wearing nothing but his birthday suit. How he ended up that way is an even more interesting issue.
According to the letter posted on Taisho University’s website, the part-time lecturer (whose name has not been given) was spotted by a student at around 3 p.m. on January 8 on a walkway between buildings on campus, wearing nothing but the skin he was born in.
Now what would lead a qualified teacher at a respectable Tokyo university to end up indecently exposing himself? A few too many drinks, perhaps? Or maybe he get lost on his way to Japan’s famous naked festival? As it turns out, this was the unfortunate end result of an argument gone wrong.
The lecturer had apparently been living together with a 21-year-old student for about six months. (While there is some speculation about their relationship, the official letter only mentions the fact that they were living together, with her parents’ permission.) When they ran into each other on campus on the day of the awkward event, however, their conversation somehow escalated into an argument. Finally, the female student reportedly demanded: “If you want me to believe you, then take off all your clothes right here.”

Do you ever come across articles on Free Republic and wonder how FR members, seemingly normal people, encounter them?
I really want to visit Japan.
“C’mon. Who among us hasn’t been found naked on a campus in Tokyo?”
Bill Clinton? Prince Andrew? Whoopi Goldberg?
