TAMPA - A nude maid cleaned up good at a Florida man's home.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says the maid stole more than $40,000 from a Cheval home despite not wearing any clothes.

The 50-year-old man hired the maid from the Internet on Friday to clean his suburban Tampa home.

Authorities say the woman arrived at the home in a one-piece, light colored dress. She took off the dress and cleaned the house for $100-per-hour.

This guy thinks a $8-a-gallon gas will be the end of the world!!

He's totally and abosolutely mistaken.

In Brazil we pay BRL2.5/liter multiplied by 3.7= BRL9.25per gallon.

9.25BR/1.65= USD5.60 per gallon. Brazil's income per capita is perhaps USD10.000 PPP adjusted.

The US income per capita is about 4x Brazil's. So a gallon at USD22.42 is in line with what Brazilians cough up for their gasoline. (LACED with about 22 to 25% ethanol.
