Well, on a positive note, at least he's free from the daily grind.

There is. Strict ones too. But there is always some idiot that won't follow them in the name of speed.

It can be a grind.

I'm sure production at the facility ground to a halt...
I'm going to hell. That is really sad, I can't imagine how agonizing that must have been.

I'll never look at sausage the same again - not that I viewed it well to begin with.

I can't even begin to imagine how bad that would hurt...

Imagine an hour in I'd be asking for someone to just end this shit...

Hummm I love Bar-S hotdogs. I wonder if they will charge more for that
run. Althought in looking at the guys picture it was not very lean meat.

That's a bad way to go.

Maybe not as DISGUSTING as the guy who fell into the raw sewage and drowned at the sewage treatment plant a few years ago, but certainly more PAINFUL.

Batch of foot-long hot dogs?

Whose the target demographic for Raper Sausage?

Screw that. When I go, I hope it's in a really fucked up way that has the local cops/firemen/EMS guys laughing their asses off.

Seriously though, that sucks. For him, his family, his coworkers, and for the emergency personnel that responded.

(We had a very similar job one night. Let me tell you... that shit will stick with you. Our guy lived. But... his career as a juggler was fucking over.)

I work fire/EMS and if you can't laugh at some of this shit you won't last long.

I bet every party he shows up to now is a total sausage fest. Seriously though that's an awful way to go.
