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.

Not another naked man caught in a chimney! This seems to happen regularly.
Maybe he thought he was someone's "Santa".

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.
