Well that's one way to light a fire under somebody's ass. It didn't quite get him moving, though. So much for that saying.

low & slow is the only way to go.

Sucks they broke his chimney to get him out. Should have used a screw extractor, and pulled him out the way he went in.

Not sure why they even bothered getting him out. Keep fueling that fire and save on cremation costs.

I love how they say "suspected". As if he were doing something else, like cleaning the chimney for free without being asked.

He fell out of a plane, and instead of crashing to the ground, miraculously plunged into a chimney, where the tight fit slowed his descent over a distance of 20 feet, saving his life.

There must have been a black hole someplace, and that actually is...err was D. B. Cooper.
