Line 70:
* Happens to Ivan Bezdomny in ''[[The Master and Margarita]]'' when he chases Woland across Moscow. When he later shows up in his fellow writers' restaurant in underpants (and wielding an icon... long story), they are not amused.
* One ''[[Encyclopedia Brown]]'' story was Brown solving the case of who stole a boy's clothes, leaving him naked in the woods.
* In one of the earliest ''[[Don Camillo]]'' short stories, the title character took a swim in the river on a very hot day — and young Communist Smilzo swiped his clothes, then brought a bunch of other Reds so they could poke fun at the priest as he came out of the water in only his underdrawers. But it stopped being fun for them when Don Camillo came ashore in a minefield left over from [[World War II]] ... that was so dangerous the government had given up on trying to clear it. Smilzo apologetically ''walked into the minefield to bring the priest his clothing''. Don Camillo absolved him, and they walked out together.
