No Pockets, No Change

March 12, 1974

1974 was the year of the streaker, and on March 12, a nude man who appeared to have come from Uncle Sam’s showed up at the Venice Cafe across the street and ordered a pizza.  The proprietor said he would make him one but he couldn’t wait for it there.  The streaker paid with a $20 bill but couldn’t take his change because he didn’t have any pockets.  Friends of his picked up the pizza.  (Minneapolis Star, March 12, 1974)
