wait so was two day’s worth of urine and feces just falling down the grease trap?
Is that Peking Duct?
So he doesn’t have sticky fingers?
A few hours after being freed he started to feel strangely unsatisfied and climbed back into the vent for seconds.
Ladies and gentlemen, your new White House chief of staff.
Gentleman rescued after two days stuck in Chinese restaurant grease vent
FTFY
Was surprised this wasn’t FL! So perhaps it should be:

“but not every solution is jail…”
Police Sergeant Found Unfit for Service
On the plus side, his skin has never felt as supple and well hydrated . . .
I think he misunderstood the concept of “grease money”
Gosh, his skin must be very soft.
The interview with the guy who found him is hilarious. Listen to Igor recreate what he heard at the beginning.
Yeah, there’s just something about grease that makes it really hard to climb. Weird, huh.
Ok, what happened to that series of articles about getting rid of mice?
This bowl + = problem solved!
They’re not going to reusing that gurney blanket…
I had a friend who was a coroner’s assistant who used to tell me his more “entertaining” cases. A poor sap tried to break into a wood-fired pizza joint though the chimney, got stuck, and asphyxiated. It was January so he froze in there, and when he was found he was charcoal from the waist down and frozen from the waist up.
Haven’t had wood fired pizza since
On the bright side, there should be no urine or feces in a grease vent, as the waste and vent for kitchens is run separately to a grease trap, before it ties into the main sewer.
Unfortunately for this gentleman, grease traps smell way worse than even active sewer lines. Rancid grease produces some of the most stomach-churning odor I have ever smelled, and I have a plumber’s nose.
Edit: I just realized that the article refers to a grease vent, which would be above the kitchen hood, and not a grease trap, which would be below the ground. Either way, not a pleasant experience.
That’s not Santa
