Naked man gets stuck in chimney
SFGate ^ | 4/24/06 | Demian Bulwa

Locked out of his stepmother's home, a 23-year-old man tried to slide down the chimney like St. Nick, except without any presents -- or clothes.

Or success, according to police, who weren't in a festive mood after they spent an hour pushing the naked man back up early Saturday.

Michael Urbano, who made it 75 percent of the way down the single-story home's chimney, was treated for minor injuries and arrested on suspicion of being high on drugs, Hayward police Lt. Gary Branson said Sunday.

It all began at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Branson said, when Urbano returned from bar-hopping to the Cliffwood Avenue house where he was staying. No one was home, and he didn't have a key, so he climbed to the roof.

Maybe there are security bars on windows. She should have started a small fire in the fireplace.

Let's hope it was drugs since they will eventually wear off. Ouch!

Yeah ... given the circumstances he probably thought it was a great idea. Waking up to cold sober reality sheds a whole different light ...

Not another naked man caught in a chimney! This seems to happen regularly.

I always hear about people getting stuck in chimneys. Are there any people who actually make it down without getting stuck? I’m just trying to figure out why so many people try this.
