Artist Nam June Paik at a state dinner on June 9, 1998 being greeted by President Bill Clinton. Suddenly, his pants drop right around his ankles and his junk falls out as he's not wearing any undies. Old Bill never even flinches and stays cool as can be - Classic Bill Clinton.
No Joke - This truly happened. 

Nam June Paik was a famous Korean artist. He used a walker to meet President Clinton in 1998. After shaking the President’s hand his pants just drop. How can this get any better? He’s going commando! No underwear! He is literally naked in front of the President of  the United States of America plus tens of government officials and hundreds of press cameras! His helper finally picks them up after a few agonizing seconds. Bill Clinton is cool the whole time and pretends nothing is going on. He just keeps small talking. Good move Mr. President. 
"In 1998, Nam June was invited to a state dinner at the Clinton White House, June of '98. Some of you will remember -- it's not that long ago -- that was the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Nam June was going, and he asked if I would go with him. I wheeled him into the White House, and these gigantic Marines took over from there. Nam June was very amused, I think. He was having a great time, talking to all the people. Then we got into to the receiving line. Nam June decided to show respect, I think, to the President, Mrs. Clinton and the other dignitaries there. He decided to get up from his wheelchair, get on his walker, and try to walk through the receiving line. The world press is across from the line at the state dinner. Tens and tens of cameras and video cameras, everything. So as Nam June is talking to President Clinton, and I'm standing right behind him, Nam June turns around and says to me, ‘Ken, I think my pants are falling down.’ True story here. And I said, ‘What?’ ‘My pants are falling!’ he says. I look down, and his pants are falling! They are completely down on the floor. And he has no underwear on! So I pick up his pants. I pull them up and I just hold them there. Now, Bill Clinton is such a cool president he still continued to have small talk with my uncle. I think they were talking about Chelsea, maybe, I don't know. A little bit down the line, I could see that Hillary was really not amused at all. She was ticked. But Bill Clinton was saying nothing. It was really quite amazing.

See that spec in the upper left quadrant? The one that looks like a TIE fighter from Star Wars? That’s the International Space Station spotted during yesterday night’s partial solar eclipse!

Photographer’s description: Image of the solar transit of the International Space Station (ISS), taken from the area of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman on January 4th 2011 at 9:09 UT, during the partial solar eclipse. Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor on EM-10 mount, Canon 5D mark II. 1/5000s exposure at 100 iso. Transit forecast calculated by www.calsky.com (many thanks to Arnold Barmettler for his help).
Transit duration: 0.86s. ISS distance to observer: 510 km. Speed in orbit: 7.8km/s (28000 km/h or 17000 mph).

The image shows three planes in space: the Sun at 150 million km, the Moon at about 400000 km and the ISS at 500 km.
