MEXICO CITY (AFP) - Hundreds of people in Mexico City doffed all but their smalls to take part in the "No Pants Subway Ride" being observed on Sunday, just for laughs, around the world.
Young and old, men, women and children got in on the 12th annual round of the prank held once a year in 50 cities, the well-ventilated movement said on its website.
It was the third time people in Mexico City lost their trousers and skirts to partake in the underground underwear fun.
