Photo by Jean-Christophe Verhaegen ( Getty Images)Here's a group of words that seem to go together: Two men from Sydney, Australia were fined for violating lockdown after they got lost in the bush while sunbathing nude.AdvertisementAccording to The Guardian, a man aged 49 and a man aged 30 went missing last weekend after they decided to sunbathe and ignored COVID restrictions. The article doesn't explain how the deer got the men to run into the bush and why they did so. However, the article reports that the nudists became lost and were found by a New South Wales police helicopter in a national park near Sydney. While the younger man was fully clothed and had a backpack, the older one was still naked.The men were presumably dressed by this point. They were both fined $1,000 for violating public health orders in the Delta variant COVID-19 outbreak that has placed the region under lockdown. These men, despite their unfortunate luck, will hopefully learn from this and vow to never again break quarantine to expose their genitals again.The tale of deer-frightened nudists was a perfect conclusion to the story. This refers to a press conference in which Mick Fuller, New South Wales' police commissioner, spoke out about the situation, saying it was difficult to legislate against idiots. Fuller was also asked by another man if he had received the notice of cease-and-desist issued by him as the primary creator of the Earth.[via Boing Boing]Email great job tips and internet tips to gji@theonion.com
