Gotta admit, this is sort of creative: A man successfully escaped a Brazilian prison by dressing in his wife's clothing and merely walking past security guards. Though he was caught an hours later, the fact that he was able to waltz right out is pretty astonishing. Fail, Brazil.

The man, 39-year-old Ronaldo Silva, can be seen all dolled up in the picture above. According to the Huffington Post:

Silva had been awaiting trial for drug trafficking when he asked his wife to smuggle in her clothing to the prison. Reportedly, she had "no idea why her hubby wanted to cross dress."
