Story [here](http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/20/us/woman-stuck-in-chimney/index.html?iref=allsearch). A California woman spurned by a man she’d met online and went out with a couple of times got stuck in his chimney after she tried to enter his house through it. The man’s final words on the matter are gold: **“I hope she gets help, and I hope she stays offline. But even if she doesn’t, people are going to know who she is now,” he said before looking directly into KTLA’s camera and adding, “you’re welcome.”** 😃 ---

The homeowner said he found her on the roof two weeks before, so I guess she got cold feet the first time. Is it too early to link to Bob Rivers’ [“Chimney Song”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&v=rW6nyN1bf8g)? 😃 ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > The homeowner said he found her on the roof two weeks before, so I guess she got cold feet the first time. The odd thing is he said that was the first red flag, when he found her on the roof the first time. So she wasn’t spurned yet at that point? If not, what was she doing on the roof? 😕 ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > That depends. Does she have big tits? The one most associated with chimneys, a white beard & red pajamas & a large front is a _he_. The moobs probably came from eating too many bowls full of (elf) jelly. :dubious: ---

Entering a house via the chimney, hmmm. Nope, can’t think of a single thing that could go wrong with that plan. Especially if she already had her flue shot. ---

Most likely she went down the chimney because it soots her. ---
