BERLIN (Reuters) - German police let a nearly naked shopper go home after she told them she was getting groceries in the nude because she lost a spin the bottle contest, a police spokesman in Cologne said Wednesday.

"We're a tolerant city that is open to the world," said spokesman Burkard Jahn. "She could have been arrested for disturbing the peace, but we decided to let her go home with a verbal warning to dress appropriately next time."

The 35-year-old Cologne woman entered the 24-hour shop at 4 a.m. wearing nothing but an unbuttoned jeans jacket, Jahn said. He said police decided to let her go because few people and presumably no small children saw her at that time of day.

1. She'd already be on the sex offender registry here.

We have no sense of humor anymore.

2. You know that here she would not have been so lucky.

Or people would not say anything at all, because they couldn't arrest her.

3. This post is useless without pictures.

Of course, with a picture it would have been removed.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
