Marky Ramone Calls 911 to Extricate Him From His Skinny Jeans

Ramones drummer Marky Ramone found himself in quite a predicament. He was unable to remove himself from his skinny jeans. Marky managed to call 911 and they were able to extricate him using the Jaws of Life.

Marky Ramone aka Marc Bell joined the Ramones in 1978 to replace original drummer Tommy Ramone. The Ramones broke up in 1996 and all of the original members have since passed on. Marky continues to tour with a cover band that performs Ramones songs. He also has a clothing line which includes leather jackets and skinny jeans.

Marky was in his apartment in Brooklyn, NY when he realized he could not move. His skinny jeans were too tight and stiffened up on him. He managed to get his cell phone from his back pocket and call 911.

“I got caught in the rain” explained Ramone. “Then when the jeans dried they shrunk. I could not budge them and they were strangling my marbles. 911 hung up on me twice because they thought I was joking. Finally the NYPD shows up and I was so embarrassed. I heard them snickering at me.”

NYPD and the Fire Department could not get the jeans to budge either. They tried pliers, saws, torches and chisels but could not get the jeans off. Finally they called in the big guns and brought in the Jaws of Life. The Jaws of Life is usually reserved to remove victims from car crashes and mangled metal. After a short time, Marky was freed. The Jaws of Life was able to extricate him from his skinny jean prison.

Jaws of Life

“This is the first time I used the Jaws of Life to extricate someone from their skinny jeans” said NYFD Lieutenant Earl Burton. “What kind of 70 year old man wears skinny jeans? Come to think of it – what’s up with his hair? Is that a Beatle wig? When my grandfather was 70 he wore slacks with the belt up around his chest. What is this world coming to?”

Marky was treated for atrophied testicles and released. They shrunk to the size of raisins from years of wearing tight pants. How is a cheap hotel and Marky Ramones’ pants alike? No Ballroom.
