SYDNEY (Reuters) - A red-faced man wearing a mini-skirt was rescued by police on Sunday after he became wedged head-first in a clothing donation bin in an act of Christmas charity gone wrong.

Police said a startled member of the public had alerted them after seeing what they first thought was a woman trapped in the charity clothing bin late on Christmas Day.

Two patrol officers were unable to dislodge the man and a rescue squad was called. The unidentified 35-year-old man was eventually freed early on Sunday and told police he was donating clothes when he became stuck.

"I guess that's his own prerogative why he was wearing a skirt, it's not really an offense" a police spokeswoman said.

No charges had been laid, she said.

I'm guessing a drag queen looking for a five finger discount.

The unidentified 35-year-old man was eventually freed early on Sunday and told police he was donating clothes when he became stuck.

Perfect explaination, he just gave away his last pair of pants.

I'm not sure why we need to know that the charges aren't getting any.

At 35 years of age, I guess he can't claim it was a fraternity stunt...

They are remaking so many movies now days, maybe he was trying out for this remake

That reminds of the story out of Germany. A man coming home on a street of row houses discovered he'd left his keys elsewhere. So he tried getting through the doggie door. If I remember correctly he may have removed his pants first. Whatever, he wound up getting stuck with his upper torso inside.

Still there the next morning people passing by noticed but did nothing. Some thought it was an "art" exhibit and dropped coins in appreciation. I don't recall how long he remained in that position.

Is that a true story? LOL

An elderly lady was standing at the side rail on a crusise ship. She was holding her hat with both hands. A gentleman came by and suggested that she use one hand because the wind gusts were frequently blowing her skirt about her waist.

She replied, "Everything down there is 85 years old, this hat isn't even 48 hours old.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Yes, I do remember the news item.

I left out that he was likely drunk and passed out or went to sleep. Also, the important fact that he had laid aside his hat upside down before trying to enter through the doggie door.
