Rescue Me

A Bangkok fireman donned a SpiderMan costume Monday, in order to rescue an 11 year old Autistic boy who freaked out at his first day of school and climbed out onto the 3rd floor ledge.


Why is a Special Needs school on anything other than the first floor? Regardless, the boy was inconsolable and was crying for his mother, who also responded along with the firemen. Firefighter Somchai Yoosabai overheard his Mother say that the boy had a special admiration for comic book heroes, and seeing how Somchai conveniently owned his own Spidey suit, he ran back to the station, threw it on, and returned to the scene to successfully rescue the boy! Brilliant!

If I were to crawl out on a ledge, here is a list of characters/things my Mom would suggest to use to coax me off:
  • Anybody who works at the Goldenrod in York Beach
  • A skeeball machine
  • Sebastian Schnuelle
  • A puppy
  • An American Express Black Card
  • Olive Ball
  • Someone who could guarantee me long & luxurious Claudia Schiffer-like thick blond hair
  • Daylon Trotman
  • Ellen DeGeneres
  • An Oscar
  • The E-Trade Baby
  • Keith Morrisson from Dateline NBC
  • Parker Posey
  • Barney &/or Miss Beasley

Who would you want to rescue you?
