That's One Way To Do It

When the Hired Hand was but a wee lad, Gentleman Farmer and sons #1, 2, and 3 found themselves standing in the backyard, locked out of the family house. After much hand-wringing and profanity, GF found a brick and, with painstaking care, hurled it through our basement window and unlocked the door from the inside.

That's not what this guy did:

The 23-year-old man came home early Saturday morning and, finding himself locked out and without his keys, tried to enter the single-story house through its chimney.

"He told us he took off his clothes because as he was going down the chimney the clothes would rub up against it and slow him down," Branson said. "If it was skin on cement he felt he would go down easier."

[His] effort ended disastrously when a cable-television wire he used to lower himself snapped. He fell and was wedged in a section of the chimney tapering into the home's fireplace.

Well, that's one way to do it.
