So this one, it might not be for the faint of heart

My friend Roger lived in a slum apartment building. One of his neighbours was this crazy guy named Laiu.

The stairwell next to Roger's home had the back section burned out and walled off. One day me and Roger were walking by when we saw Laiu pressed up against the wooden planks.

"Whatcha doing there Laiu?"

"Hey you gotta help me, I'm stuck!"

"What do you mean?"

He chuckled nervously. "Well, you see, I was walking by and I saw this knothole, and so.."

When we both laughed at him he became very upset. "Hey don't judge, man! It's been a whole month since my girlfriend left."

We kept laughing and started to walk away.

"Wait!" He shouted, "Come on man I'm stuck I can't get loose!"

"Can't help you with that, guy."

"Sure you can! Just go through the opening downstairs and come up the other side and, you know…" He grinned lecherously over his shoulder. "Help me out…."

We both immediately started kicking him in the ass.

"AAAHH! No! Stop it!"

Roger looked at me. "I wonder if he's really stuck? Let's find out." With that, Roger threw a side shoulder block straight at Laiu. And Laiu turned completely sideways, barely balancing on one leg, but stayed stuck to the wall.

"YAAAHH!!!! NO MAN!! I'M REALLY STUCK!"

It looked like he was really stuck, all right. So we both took turns throwing shoulder blocks at him, turning him back and forth like a metronome stuck to the wall, and then kicked him in the ass a bunch of times more.

"This helping you out Laiu?"

Eventually we got bored and left him there.

The next day we saw him at the door of his Mother's apartment.

"Laiu! What's up man?"

Laiu cast us a resentful look. "Fuck you guys man. You gave me splinters."

Oh its true; my mind couldn't come up with something this nuts.
The one part that might have been fiction would be that Laiu was faking the whole being stuck thing. That's what Roger thought. If so that shows a lot of dedication to his act.

I fixed your name. The link was working anyways, because I had tested it and when it didn't work I copied&pasted your address into the parenthesis and added square brackets, you know that technique instead of just checking my spelling? :)
