IS THAT IN THE UPRIGHT AND LOCKED POSITION OR ARE YOU JUST GLAD TO SEE ME? There will be an all-nude chartered flight from Miami to Cancun on May 3. When the 172-seat Boeing 727 reaches cruising altitude, passengers will be free, not only to move about the cabin, but to do it in their birthday suits.
There are no regulations specifically banning nudity aboard an aircraft. Upon arrival in Mexico, the naked travelers will be staying at a nudist resort for a week. Cost: $910 for the room, $499 for the flight.

THE CASE OF THE GOD-FEARING RAPIST: A man entered a woman's apartment in Tacoma, Wash., and began sexually assaulting her when she started praying. Taken aback, he asked her if she was a Christian. She said yes. He apologized and left.

GOOD THING THEY WEREN'T RUNNING FOR SCHOOL BOARD: Six candidates for city clerk of Charleston, W. Va., misspelled their party affiliation when filling out the forms necessary to run for office.     Four Democrats wrote either "Democart" or "Democrate," and two Republican candidates wrote "Repbulican" and "Repucican."

DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! After feuding for some time about land, an 84-year-old woman shot her daughter's 62-year-old husband to death with a rifle from 200 yards away, police said.
Noting the distance of the fatal shot, prosecutors ruled out self-defense.

RIGHT UP THEIR ALLEY: A stove fire broke out on a recreational vehicle in Monticello, Iowa. At the time, the town was hosting the Iowa Firemen's Association Convention. The blaze was quickly extinguished.
