Oh, Sheet!

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "I checked out the original article, Hebrew but Google translates. It was not clear what circumstances caused the woman to attempt the sheet-rope climb, like a jailhouse inmate. However, it is clear that the house was full of drunken celebrating family members--does this sound fun?-- who would not let this woman leave, so in my mind there is some question about whether she was being held against her will, if the bedsheet idea was just another too-clever plan or a dire necessity for escaping from the drunken relatives."
ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

A 52 years old woman from Holon, Israel had some friends over for her and her husband's 30 years wedding anneversary. For an unknown reason, the drunk lady wanted to leave the party, but the guests did not allow that. Oh then, did she come up with a great idea: climbing down a chain of sheets, from the 3rd story. You know she did not make it...

While we've had plenty of stories of people falling from heights for various reasons I don't think we've quite had a jail-break scenario like this one. Thanks, Cobe!

This is right out of a bad Hollywood romantic comedy! Well, I'll wager she'd been planning this "great escape" for 30 years! DEFINITELY original! Thanks, Cobe!
