NAKED MAN RESCUED FROM WASHING MACHINE
WITH HELP OF OLIVE OIL
Emergency workers in Australia have rescued a naked man who got stuck in a washing machine by greasing him up with olive oil.
Police officers in Mooroopna, northern Victoria, said the man was trying to play a prank on his partner by hiding in the top-loading appliance when he found he was unable to get out.
When help was required it seems that emergency crews were only too happy to respond, with police, firefighters, workers from the volunteer-based State Emergency Service and even members of the Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad arriving on the scene.
It took rescuers around 20 minutes to free the man from the machine using oil to lubricate his skin.
‘‘He was very well wedged in there and we were concerned for his health and wellbeing,’’ police Sergeant Michelle De Araugo told Shepperton News.
‘‘It was just a game gone wrong. It would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed.’’
Another officer, First Constable Luke Ingram, told ABC News: “My advice would be for people not to climb into appliances. Obviously, that causes a number of issues as we've seen on the weekend."
The first time I saw the online report it appeared alongside an advertisement for Kenmore washing machines.
So, with that in mind, I present for your enjoyment a few images of men who didn't climb into washing machines.
The guy shown above wasn't the fellow in question. He seems to be a little more agile anyway. Note the label on the top left of the washing machine: It's a Speed Queen.
