Yeah I know Xmas is over, but as I was browsing msn.com, I came across this funny news which really caught my eyes.
Thief, Not Santa, Found Stuck in Chimney
It wasn’t Santa Claus but a would-be burglar that rescue workers found stuck up a chimney in central Australia on Friday.
Staff at the Gapview Hotel in Alice Springs heard a man groaning when they arrived for work in the hotel bar, and called the fire department.
The man had been stuck inside the chimney for about 10 hours with his knees jammed tightly into his chest, said local fire station officer Mark James. “He was like a grub in a cocoon when we found him,” James said. “He was really wedged in there.”
Firefighters and ambulance officers spent 90 minutes trying to free the man before finally removing part of the chimney with jackhammers.
“Imagine being in the tightest ball you can (make) and being in that position for 10 hours,” James said. “He was pretty embarrassed and ashamed, so he didn’t say much when we got him out. He was obviously feeling sore and sorry for himself.”
The man’s identity was not immediately released, and it was not clear if he would be charged with any offense.
The minute I saw the heading, the first expression that came from me was… WTF?! How would someone be so stupid?! Now check out the words they used to describe the situation.
- He was groaning. Possibly groaning stuffs like, “God damn son of a bitch who built this fucking narrow chimney, holy hell save my balls….” or in Hokkien, “Kanineh mak cibai!!! Tiok thaat liao!!!”
- He was like a grub in a cocoon. Oh hohoho so let’s imagine how this funny fella intended to sneak in through the chimney, by sliding down? Or trynna form like a cannonball?
- Imagine being in the tightest ball. The only thing I could think of is a big meat ball gettin stuck there.
It’s definitely hilarious ok? And oh! I thought of sharing a picture:

Ho ho ho, enjoy!

eh i think its pretty common.. for people to pretend to be santa, knock on door and rob the resident. but the whole chimney thing is really first time haha
