Two pool enthusiasts recently found themselves quite stuck in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic--the local fire brigade were needed to free the pair after their hands became stuck fast in a billiard table.

The two were looking for a missing object ball when they became hopelessly trapped. The incident initially struck them as humours though great panic ensued when they fully realised the stickiness of their pool wicket.

"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 Czech firefighting spokesman.
