Police rescue 91-year-old German glued to roof
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | March 14, 2007 - 9:35AMA 91-year-old German sparked a rescue operation when he slipped mending his roof and got stuck fast in tar "like a beetle on its back", police said.
Passers-by were so shocked to see the elderly handyman working on the roof they first thought he was planning to commit suicide, according to police in the eastern city of Magdeburg.
"In fact he was just re-coating the roofing with bitumen. But then he slipped," said a spokesman for police.
"When we got there, he was like a beetle on its back, with his arms and legs sprawled out and completely glued to the roof," he added. "Due to his age, he couldn't free himself from his unfortunate situation."
Local firemen carefully detached the man using ropes and ladders. He was unharmed, but had sticky clothes, police said.

That the Police are touring with the Gang of Four this year.
Those Gang of Four reunion shows had Sordidman bouncing off the walls. Got to chat with Andy Gill briefly backstage, talk about going back in time....

That guy who keeps asking me for change outside the coffee shop every morning? I thought I recognized that smell...
