Saw a historic brick chimney in Savannah with a really odd flue layout

I was working on a 19th century house in the historic district last week and the flue for the main fireplace took a sharp 45-degree turn halfway up. The owner said it was to avoid an old structural beam. Ever run into something like that?

Seen a flue that zig-zagged like a lightning bolt once?

My uncle's chimney looked like a drunk bricklayer built it.

Always thought that was a bad idea... until I saw one still working.
