Hey! Your name is not Santa Claus

-

THERE is only one person who should be climbing down chimneys, and he’s fat, dressed in red and has a white beard.

But that descriptio­n did not fit one Arizona man, who tried to get into his house after being locked out.

The 26-year-old became stuck in his chimney for four hours last week after trying to shimmy down the tube into his home.

A neighbour heard him calling for help and called the fire brigade.

By the time help arrived, the department said, he had managed to get far enough down to touch the floor, but the exit was too narrow for him to completely escape.

So firefighte­rs pulled him back up through the chimney.

Let’s hope Santa never retires, it seems his potential replacemen­ts leave a lot to be desired.
