VANCOUVER - Lucky for three drunk Abbotsford, B.C., men who went naked through a carwash, their records will remain squeaky clean.

Midnight Wednesday, police responded to calls from Abbotsford residents who woke to the sounds of screams.

“Somehow (the three men) found themselves outside a car wash, and conveniently there’s a shopping cart nearby,” said Const. Ian MacDonald. “They decided it would be a really good idea to strip down and run themselves and the cart through the car wash. Need I say they were intoxicated?”

MacDonald said the trio, all 20 years old, told police they weren’t sure if they had pressed the “typhoon” or “super typhoon” setting, but “whatever they chose had the effect of pounding them with really cold water and effectively pressure-washing them.”

“They did of course experience the effects of rotating bristles and likely warm soap, but it was the water that generated the greatest reaction, which was yelling and screaming that caused the neighbours to be awoken and call police,” MacDonald said.

After making sure they were not injured and listening to their apologies for what they recognized was a poor life choice, police sent the three men home to sleep it off.

MacDonald tweeted Wednesday: “Pressure washing yourself will not increase intelligence or sobriety.”
