When I ask for feedback on this site, I always hear about how I don’t have enough sexy yet humorous stories about elevator breakdowns. Well, your prayers have been answered as 26 teen cheerleaders at the University of Texas got stuck in an elevator.

“Why so cheerious?”

Twenty-six teenage cheerleaders tried to cram themselves into an elevator at the University of Texas to see how many would fit, but then they got stuck and had to be rescued. One girl was treated and released at a hospital and two others were treated at the scene after the Tuesday night prank, officials said.

The group of 14-17 year-olds were attending a cheerleading camp when they decided to stuff themselves into an elevator at Jester Residence Hall on the UT campus. The elevator went down to the first floor but then the doors of the overloaded elevator wouldn’t open, officials said.

After a few panicked cell phone calls, police and firefighters were called to the scene and it took a repairman about 25 minutes to fix the door, police said.

UT officials didn’t think the prank was all that funny.

“It’s dangerous, actually,” said UT police spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon. “They’re lucky that that’s all that happened.”

Well, no, it’s probably not a funny prank for the girls any more since they almost suffocated on each other’s nubile bodies. And it’s horrific for everyone else involved too. Imagine the poor rescue worker who first thought he was going on a prank call, only to find himself suffering from the most uncomfortable rescue effort ever. “Watch your hand, Bill…steady…steady…they’re just victims…think of the old lady you had to pull out of the tree yesterday…it’s your job…professionalism…” That’s enough to traumatize a man.

Though these girls are underage so, unless you like a certain special type of Breyer’s ice cream, you better keep your thoughts pure, friend.
