Fences Make Good Neighbors But Not Good Things to Climb Over

2006_05_wroughtiron.jpgSuper d'oh! A drunk guy trying to scale a wrought iron fence yesterday morning got his leg impaled on one of the spikes. And, yes, the 28 year old was drunk. He and a friend apparently wanted to take a "shortcut through a parking lot at 94 East First Street to a diner" for breakfast, only for his jump over a fence not to completely clear one of the "1-inch wide spikes," according to the NY Post. Ewwww and ouch. Emergency workers cut the fence and left the spike in his leg until a surgeon at Bellevue removed it. So, add "jumping over an iron fence with spikes" to "calling exes" and "driving" to things you shouldn't do when drunk.

The Daily News adds that the man missed breakfast. You want to talk about losing your breakfast, the Post has a picture of the guy's leg with the fence in it.

Yep, the guy is white according to the photo in the NY Post site. Nice loafers, too.

this is what white people do. Torturing innocent defenseless fence! Next he probably sues the owner for putting a fence there.

Why they can't be like other races and just rape and kill other humans rather than going after fences.

I knew it. LOL at whitey.

whatever, black folk get high on crack or malt liquor and get hung up on sharp spikey things all the time. latinos and asians too. cant we all just get along in our drunkeness?

"hold my beer, watch this"
true but mostly it's whitey, when drunk, these things happen.

there is something between white people and fences. Why they just can't get along?

Allegory of the Fence: Notice that the fence is black and is used for security purposes but instead it hurts and maims people. crazy.
