Aussie Dad Gives His Backside Spin Cycle
One playful Australian father gave himself the ultimate enema.
Robin Toom, 38, had to be rescued after becoming stuck in his sister's washing machine while playing hide-and-seek with his kids, according to the Daily Telegraph.
"I just hopped in there, playing hide and go seek with the kids," Toom told the paper Monday from the Queensland city of Townsville.
"I got in there and couldn't even get the lid down and the kids came in and said 'ha ha we found you,'" he said.
The paper posted pictures of Toom with his rump stuck in the washer online.
Shame turned to sweat for the over-heating baker's assistant as his wife, sister, brother-in-law, and the kids all stuffed themselves into the bathroom around the machine to have a laugh.
Fireman Dave Dillon told the Daily Telegraph that he was on duty Sunday when the family called in to tell them "a man was stuck in a washing machine."
"We thought we'd get there and he'd have his hand stuck," Dillon told the paper. "He was in an absolute lather of sweat when we got there. He was really well attached to it."
The paper said the freshly laundered father waited for an hour with his knees pressed up against his chest before firemen finally arrived.
The rescuers told the sweaty, stuck dad that taking the machine apart would be a last option because Toom would have still been wedged in the tub, which they'd then have to cut open — and his sister heaved a sigh of relief.
Instead, firemen reached into the machine, dislodging Toom's foot from where it had been stuck.
The bashful Toom said he's decided to change the hide-and-seek rules for his kids.
"I hope they don't go hiding in any washing machines now," he told the Daily Telegraph.
