벌거벗은 채로 세탁기에 끼인 호주 남성이 지난 4일(현지시각) 가까스로 구조됐다고 AFP가 전했다.
호주 멜버른에 사는 이 남성은 여자친구를 깜짝 놀라게 하려고 여자친구가 집을 비운 사이 세탁기 속에 들어갔다. 하지만 남자는 세탁기 통 속에 꽉 껴서 나올 수가 없었다.
출동한 경찰관과 소방관들은 남자 몸과 세탁기 통 사이에 올리브유를 부어 남자를 가까스로 빼냈다.
구급 요원은 “구조된 남성은 정말 운이 나빴다”며 “구조될 당시 굉징히 민망해했다”고 전했다.

Naked Aussie gets stuck in washing machine
A naked Australian man was left red-faced after getting stuck in a washing machine during a game of hide and seek, after police had to grease him up with olive oil to get him out.
The man clambered into the top-loader machine on Saturday afternoon in his unit north of Melbourne, aiming to surprise his girlfriend when she got home.
But he became wedged, sparking a delicate rescue effort.
“He was trying to surprise his missus and became stuck,” Sergeant Tim Gleeson told the Herald Sun after police, firefighters, paramedics, and a local search and rescue squad used olive oil to manoeuvre the man out of his predicament.
“They greased him up until he was free,” Sgt Gleeson added.
“It was just a game gone wrong. It would be fair to say the gentleman was very embarrassed,” added Sergeant Michelle De Araugo. (AFP)
