OAKLAND - On the 50th anniversary of his birth, carpenter Percy Honniball was charged with wearing his birthday suit to work.
His preference for working in the nude got him nailed by Oakland police earlier this month, and today the Alameda County District Attorney charged him with misdemeanor indecent exposure.
Honniball reportedly was building a set of bookcases for a Montclair man last October when the man came home and found his carpenter in flagrant deshabille.
The Alameda County District Attorney's office charged him today, which happens to be his birthday, records show.
It isn't the first time Honniball has been in trouble for public nudity.
In Berkeley, Honniball has been cited three times since 2000, but never earned a punishment beyond two years' probation for violating the city's anti-nudity ordinance, said Sgt. Mary Kusmiss, spokeswoman for the Berkeley police.
On May 21, 2003, a Berkeley woman said, she was driving past a parked truck on Sterling Avenue when she saw "a completely naked man" walk out in front of the truck.
The man "stood looking directly at me with his hands at his sides," the woman told police, adding that she went home "feeling startled and stunned by what the guy did."

Percy...HONNIBALL?
deshabille - the state of being carelessly or partially dressed
I always charge extra for wearing clothes.My clients are glad to pay it.
Now pronounce it
n. déshabillé; negligée.
It sounds French, so first, suck a lemon. Don't work, suck lime.
Right? He didn't have enough luggage carrying that name around? He had to go and get himself a record...
