An overheated dope went for a dip in the Central Park Reservoir this afternoon and then refused to get out, forcing firefighters to drag him to shore, officials said.

The man, described as a white male in his 40s, allegedly scaled the chain-link fence at the Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and jumped into the 40-foot deep body of water sometime before 3 p.m, officials said.

What I find interesting is that the chain link fence he scaled has been gone for years.

Well, if he actully *did* "scale" a chain-link fence, then he really was a moron, since the metal fence around 99% of the reservoir is about chest-high and easily hoppable.
