A man was found today clinging to a ceiling in a downtown apartment block. Rescue workers took seven hours to pry him loose.

Apparently the man, Mr Jim-Bob Carruthers of Lower Upper East Hills Valley, was scared onto the ceiling the previous day, by a maniac wearing ladies lingerie and wielding a leaf blower.

Once on the ceiling, Mr Carruthers was unable to let go for fear of hurting himself. His cries for help had gone unnoticed, until the following day when an elderly woman, who had inadvertently wandered into the wrong apartment in the wrong apartment block, found Mr Carruthers on the ceiling and called the police.

Mr Carruthers told reporters: "I'm not one to spill my guts with some sob story or nuthin', but I reckon them was the worst 24 hours of my life. Thank the lord that little old lady wandered into my home."

Mr Carruthers is recovering in the Lower East Hills Valley District Hospital. Police are still looking for the whereabouts of the elderly woman who raised the alarm. She was last seen heading out of the building clutching a purple teddy bear and getting into a a green Oldsmobile.  Bystanders claim to have seen the car bear off the main road to the left. Police say the woman bears watching.
