German police rescue 91-year-old man glued to roof

So there's this spry 91 year old East German man doing some repairs and maintenance to his roof and he has forgotten that the tar he is using to mend said roof is quite sticky.


Passerbys thought that the guy was attempting to commit suicide but he had actually just slipped on the roof and got caught fast in the bitumen.


What i particularly like is the end result to the situation.

I know how he feels!!

@Grinner: so you stick the satelites to the roof with bitumen do you?

No Grinner knows how it feels to be 91

He's pretty limber for a 91-yr-old, though. I hope he didn't dislocate his hip there.

Who, Grinner?

The old geezer, of course. For that stupid question I will not look at you all evening during dinner.

I guess at this point i have to point out that the above picture is not of the actual chap himself and is just a Googled image to portray the situation.

@sarabyrd: after MAMs post I wasn't quite sure who you meant. As for not looking at me, I shall return the compliment!

I reckon Grinner knows what it is like to have sticky clothes.

Why has Grinner taken off one shoe in that photograph?

Who stole the source from the pícture?

@Yeti: maybe it was originally only his shoe that got stuck?

no kidding...that's one hell of a move he's doing there...hahaha

Nothing like sticking around to make sure the job gets done.
