Naked man rescued from washing machine in Australia
2014-01-07
[FORCESPENPALS.CO.UK] A man in Australia had to be pulled from a washing machine while totally naked after a game of hide and seek went seriously wrong.

The man is said to have taken to the machine in a bid to hide from his fellow players, only to find he could not get out.

It took around 20 minutes for rescuers to assist him in getting out of the appliance. They are even believed to have used olive oil as a lubricant to ease his escape.

Sergeant Michelle De Araugo explained "it was just a game gone wrong" and that "it would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed". Few details about the individual involved have been released.

The incident occurred in the town of Mooroopna, north of Melbourne, on Saturday (January 4th).

Another unnamed officer had a few words of advice for anyone else who might be thinking of pulling a similar stunt, noting it is always best to avoid using appliances during hide and seek.

Its clear that Aussie laws disallowing men from washing machines + nekkid mermaids are clearly NOT being enforced.

#12  I've seen commercials where a Girl jumps out of a washer, bit tight for a man. (Specially after seeing a naked Girl)

#10  you can't fry a turkey in olive oil.

Yes we can!!! But turkeys are supposed to be roasted in an oven not fried. About peanut oil, it is unamerican (cf the Mayflower) and without peanut oil Jimmy Carter would have never become President. Name a single olive producer who has been a worst President than Jimmy Carter. :-)

#7  It was either claim to be playing hide and seek or to admit what he was really doing with the washing machine . . . .

#5  It was a simple mistake. He though it was the latest chinese made bidet, and was surprised at the thoroughness of the cleaning.

#3  Besoeker, Olive oil was the oil the Mayflower Pilgrims came with and is the only a civilized man would consider to use.

He may have been dreaming of mermaids at the time of his inspiration, "gee, lets hide in the washing machine"
