HAYWARD, Calif. (AP) - A man who spent five hours naked and stuck in the chimney of his stepmother's home was arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs, police said.

Police say Michael Urbano, 23, locked himself out of the house early Saturday morning and decided to get in on a cable TV wire through the chimney.

But the wire broke and Urbano fell, getting stuck about three-quarters of the way down. He was freed when a firefighter pushed him to safety.

"We get him up, and he's naked as a jaybird," said Hayward police Lt. Gary Branson. "He tells us he took his clothes off because there would be less friction going down the chute. We did find his clothes. So that part checked out."

Authorities were called about 6:15 a.m. Saturday. A neighbor heard "faint, distressing" calls since about 2:30 a.m. and decided to call police.

Police say it probably wasn't a comfortable few hours for Urbano.

"He's not fat," Branson said, "but he used to play football. He's not that little."

His neighbors weren't any smarter, they waited 3 3/4 hours to call police.

I wasn't surprised they thought he was under the suspicion of drugs - "Son, you want to play naked timmy fell down the well?"

There was another story a couple of days ago about a guy who was working on a house and the owner came home unexpectedly and fired the guy 'cause he was working naked.  He said he had to do some wirering under the house and didn't want to get his clothes dirty!

Some people will do anything to not get there cloths dirty as well as avoid friction.

I notice that this is at least the second news story Skink000's posted involving nudity....

All right Keiran Halcyon your correct, I have problem. I find some of the things people
with their cloths on is just plan stupid, but when they have to get bare naked to do it
thats a riot.

Nope this my third, there was "Dial N for Naked" and "Spider-hunting nudist ends with ring of fire". I had another one the other day that would have been shot down by the powers that be .

If this guy and the spider-hunter had known each other this guy would have been one match away from a Darwin Award.

They reminds me of a certain leader of a world supper power I will not mention, hahahahahaha.
