The Case of the Clever Hiker

Jessica Bruinsma was hiking in the Alps when she took a bad fall and got stuck on a rocky ledge.

As luck would have it, she could reach a metal cable - for a cable-car used by lumberjacks. She took off her bra and attached it to the cable.

Rasp said the cable was only within reach because the timber transport system was out of service. When a repairman restored the line on Thursday, the cable car started moving up the mountain and Bruinsma's bra reached the worker at the base.

Lingerie
saved the day.

Hurrah
for her bra.

I would have died
on the mountainside -

lacking the proper article of dress
to signal my distress.
