A naked couple who clambered to the top of a building triggered a full-scale rescue by the emergency services after the woman plunged through the roof.
Eyewitnesses reported the pair “rolling about” in the nude on top of a four-storey building in Aberdeen city centre before she fell through the slates.
Two fire engines, three ambulances and several police cars were called to the scene at around 11am, as crowds of shoppers looked on in amazement.
The busy road was closed for more than an hour as firefighters broke into the Bridge Street building, which houses a mixture of flats, shops and restaurants, and searched for the pair.
The woman, believed to be in her 30s, was led out by paramedics with mud and cuts on her face and taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in an ambulance.
A man, thought to be in his mid-20s, was led out by police officers 30 minutes later and driven off in the back of a police car. Both were dressed by the time they emerged.

Should have known that you could take care of yourself anywhere in Ohio, LOL!
Born in Massachusetts going on 64 years ago but spent 54 years in California losing my Boston twang.
I Cahn speak twahng when I waant to though.
O.G!!
“And tha baybee beah, he sahd to tha otha beahs, Somebody’s been eatin mah pohvidge!”
Hearing the story of Goldilocks in Bostonian twang is a must.
Being from Ohio, I cannot at all mimic it.
[I really recommend it. But then again, I also recommend the movie “Day of the Triffids”.]
In Ohio, it is somehwat normal to find lost rewards hanging up in bizarre places.
My folks used to camp some in State and National Parks. Anyone who has camped much at all has been blessed with the opportunity to sit in ones camp and watch someone set camp that has never camped before.
On one trip, they had the occasion to watch a young couple set up their pop-up camper for the first time. It was pure hilarity as they tell it. The funniest part came at the end when the young couple no doubt decided they should “christen” the new camper. As it turns out, they had not put the supports on the slide outs that you sleep on. Yes, you guessed it, after just a few moments of “christening”, the slide out gave way and both came tumbling out in full embrace naked as jay birds.
My dad used to insist it was a true story. Don’t knwo for sure that it was, but it was sure fun to hear him tell it.

Ah, outtake on the literal meaning of the sign likely to be taped to my face while saran wrapped to the telephone pole.
OH! You’re series about the reward! I’m on my wayz.
LOL, well.. others would be.
And knowing those that I do, I’d be lucky to not be stuck under a neon sign.
Doesn’t take much saran wrap to hold a 120 pound humn male to a telephone pole.
As for the neon sign, I know some persistant people.
Well, tell them to hurry up. I need that neon sign to find you and collect my reward.
You weigh 120? Sigh... I used to weigh that.
LOL.
Trust me, the neon sign these folks would cook up would be quite eye rendingly garish.
You’re safer without it.
Yes, 120.
That’s after weighing in at a top of 135, doing two miles in 13:54 and pushing out “75+” pushups and situps and then..
..got mononucleosis in 1997.
“Fastest weightloss plan evah!”
I don’t recommend it, messed up alot of things, I can’t get past 120 no matter what.
Running two miles these days?
No such luck, I start running on fumes at a mile out.
Well dang it. I was hoping for eye catching, not eye rending. There goes my reward.
You had mono? I didn’t realize that the effects were that debilitating and long lasting. Sorry to hear that happened to you so young. I’m used to saying goodbye to those sorts of activities, but you shouldn’t be. I’ll pray for you, Honey.
[sad tales of surgery aftermath and other problems redacted lest poster become annoying old lady]
LOL.
Yeah, it was quite a fun time with it.
I had an unusual red raised itchy rash that looked like a vest.
Afterwards, my normal body temp is 97.8 degrees.
*chuckle*
Goodness gracious, I feel worse about it than you do. I’ll have to stop that this instant.
I never had it, but my usual body temp is also a degree low.
In high school, it was called the “kissing disease,” and anyone who got it was assumed to be a big make-out artist, and the gossip about them would run hotter and heavier than anything (I’m sure) that the poor kids did. LOL!
I truly have no idea how I got it.
Al;l I know is that I felt like crap for roughly a week, had a fever all of one day, and then literally passed out one day to wake up and find people asking me if I was alive.
Quick trip to the docs and he said, “Heh, mono. Here, blood test.. yup, mono.”
Though I frightened his nurse by passing out after blood was drawn.
She thought I’d had a heart attack due to how I literally dropped like a rock from a standing position.
Hubby has a problem getting blood drawn, and he is unable to donate blood at all because he gets nauseated from the former and passes out from the latter.
Are you over all that stuff except for your heart’s being weaker? Is there any way that you can strengthen it again by exercise? What did the doctor say?
For me, my blood pressure crashes when I get stuck with a needle.
(60 over 50, heart rate 60. That was fun.)
Nothing wrong with my heart, it was everything else that got slammed by mono.
Mono attacks your endocrine system, so pretty much adrenal, thyroid, etc etc got hurt.
So while I burn off calories at an accelerated rate, hence why I cannot gain weight, I don’t get the energy from it that I should be.
My first thought when I read the headline.
And then the kid said, “Hey, mister, your sign fell off.”
