Fat prisoner accidentally prevents mass escape

A planned mass escape from an Argentine jail backfired when a 16 stone prisoner got stuck.

Roque Vivas got stuck in a 12ins hole dug in the ceiling by inmates of the prison at Rosario.

Five prisoners had already escaped but another 24 were waiting behind Vivas for their turn.

They ended up having to call prison guards to help their burly fellow convict, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.

A prison spokesperson said: "It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. This fat man was stuck from the waist down and shaking his legs.

"Then all the other prisoners looking really p***ed off because he stopped them from escaping."

The five men who managed to escape are still on the run.

16 stone = 224 pounds (14 pounds to a stone)

BWAHAHAHA! Sounds like a Laurel and Hardy movie.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got real fat to go on disability and work from home and his fat ass plug a hole in a tank that prevented the release of toxic gas.

They must eat prety well in that prison, or he was a new inmate, or he arrived sometime ago weighing 330 pounds.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got real fat to go on disability and work from home and his fat ass plug a hole in a tank that prevented the release of toxic gas.

Or the Cheers episode where Norm got stuck in an alleyway entrance into the bar. Or when Winnie the Pooh ate so much honey that he got stuck in Rabbits back door.

How 'bout the Simpsons where the death row inmate was swept away from the electric chair during a tornado. As he flew away laughing, he blew straight into an electrical wire and got electrocuted!
Funniest thing I ever saw.
