TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (133)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Associated Press (from Thursday, September 20; link good at time of posting):
Firefighters had to tear though a wall to rescue an intoxicated man who became stuck while trying to climb down a chimney into the residence of his former girlfriend.

Alejandro Valencio said he was drunk when he got into the chimney about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.

"Everyone do stupid things sometimes when they're drunk," he said.

Firefighters requested assistance from police after arriving because they said Connie Deweese was hampering the rescue effort by blocking the fireplace.

"I told them to leave him in the chimney and let him die," said Deweese, who received misdemeanor citations for disorderly conduct and interfering with a firefighter.

. . . .

"I've dated a lot of psychos in my life, but nobody like that," Deweese said.
