Czech Republic: Two billiards players from the city of Karlovy Vary have been forced to summon the fire brigade to free them after they both got their hands stuck in a billiard table.
The pair were reportedly attempting to locate a missing ball when they became trapped. The incident initially struck them as funny but their mirth quickly turned to panic when the realised just how well they were stuck.
"Their trapped hands hurt them quite a bit. We have no clue at all how they could become stuck in there. In the end we had no other option but to dismantle the entire table," said a fire brigade spokesman.
