Australia police free naked man stuck in washing machine

MELBOURNE: -- Police in Australia have rescued a naked man who got stuck inside a washing machine while playing a game of hide-and-seek.

The man reportedly hid inside the top-loading machine so he could surprise his partner.

But he became stuck and it took 20 minutes for rescuers to dislodge him using olive oil as a lubricant.

Firefighters, paramedics and a search-and-rescue squad were also called to help with the situation.

Naked Australian gets stuck in washing machine

MELBOURNE: -- A naked Australian man was left red-faced after getting stuck in a washing machine during a game of hide and seek, after police had to grease him up with olive oil to get him out.

The man clambered into the top-loader machine on Saturday afternoon in his unit north of Melbourne, aiming to surprise his girlfriend when she got home.

But he became wedged, sparking a delicate rescue effort.

"He was trying to surprise his missus and became stuck," Sergeant Tim Gleeson told the Herald Sun after police, firefighters, paramedics, and a local search and rescue squad used olive oil to manoeuvre the man out of his predicament.

Oh....you must put the clothes into the washing machine and stay outside.

Not let the clothes outside and stay inside the washing machines....

This happens if you buy these cheap Chinese brands with purely translated user guides.

come on...it isn't that bad!

We Austrian lock our daughters into the basement for 30 years......you Australians just lock yourself into the washing machine....that is really harmless....

And as it sounds he may liked it....all the strong firefighters putting olive oil on his naked body.....

If there would be fire fighter girls I would try it as well.

[Spare]

I heard about the Aussie guy got his stuck in a Hoover. But in a washing machine..... world 1st.

That couple obviously don't use the washing powder that makes things twice as bright......

[klauskunkel]

Now that he is covered in olive oil, he should go right back in for a heavy duty cycle...

[Neeeko]

If I was rescuing him, I would not be able to not laugh... "Bit of a sticking situation you've got yourself in here mate"

[BonzaLad]

Clearly not one of my countrymen with a full load!

[Dimpys Dad]

I knew right away this headline was going to grow legs and run. Hysterical! Run, baby, run.

[slipperylobster]

Is this typical? How much olive oil should an australian carry with him for such emergencies?

[slipperylobster]

At least we know it was not a case of money laundering.

Maybe celebrating the Ashes 5-0 white wash win ....

Well yes, they do not get to do that that often.

Anyway hope the experience did not damage his Didgeridoo.
