He learned his lesson the hard way

A man who tried to help a locked-out relative get back into her Queens apartment lowered himself off the roof of a six-story building yesterday to get inside - but spent more than an hour dangling on a window ledge, cops said.

The wannabe hero, who was not identified, used a rope to scale down the outside of the building at 88-73 193rd St. to get in through a sixth-floor window. Finding the window locked and unable to pull himself back up, the man had to wait for rescue.

Love the slippers he wears - perfect for this job. What happened to his training jumping fences aquired earlier in his arrival for residency period? Ah - they don't keep up those skills once here - no need to run or hide only save others from locked doors!

pass off as news!

Reminds me of all those guys walking around dressed like they just got up in the middle of the winter, or their wives covered head to toe in July.

No wonder they are angry. Any outreach programs to help them acclimate?

can't be nominated for the darwins - you have to remove yourself from the gene pool - either by dying, or rendering yourself sterile
