At least the family will get his coffin for 1/2 off.....

I could easily join in and try to make some situationally appropriate puns, but every one I thought of has already been done.

So, getting down to a practical aspect: How do you figure the factory workers figured where to separate the "good" batch

of sausage meat from the "bury it with dignity" batch?

Look for the first toenail and then go back ten pounds?

Do you think that they'll package the ground-up legs in sausage casing for convenience?

Or stick a product label on the casket?

New flavor?
What a really dumb, and totally preventable, way to die. And not too far from as horrible as it can get.

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.
Well...then you know.

Had a guy where my Dad worked fail to stop a paper machine . . . <1" clearance. Got his hand caught and pulled him all the way through and the machine never noticed, kept running. Since he was around the corner from anyone and he hadn't stopped the line, nobody noticed for a few minutes until the next machine stopped.

Amazing thing, though, he had an open casket funeral.

I knew someone that would run a hammer mill with all the safeties disabled. It was built by us, and had no safeties by design. that place was so off the wall dangerous that OSHA wouldn't even step inside. As long as well had proper MSDS placards on all products, we were good to go.

He made sure to allways tell me NOT to shut the machine off if he falls in.

Your description of GD reminded me of a song by The Ramones:

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me mom and daddy

Siting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines

We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men

Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills

I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune
Selling Daddy's dope

There would be more "RIP"s for a member, but it'd still be the GD.

Well I don't have that long in.

However I just make it a point not to get emotionally invested in people I work on. I think burn out comes from an inability to remain detached from your patient/victim. I worked with a guy who went to the funerals of patients he lost.

One day he did not report for his shift, no call in, nothing so his partner swung by his place to check on him. Shot himself in his garage, no note or anything. I think he let all the bad shit he saw over the years get carried around with him until one day his cup overflowed and the ability to cope with it was lost. I was a brand new EMT with about two months in and the lesson I took from that was not to ever take anything home from the scene with you.

A 26-year-old sausage factory worker suffered a grisly end when he slipped and fell feet first into a meat grinder which chewed off his legs and killed him.

Father-of-four Michael Raper was trapped from the waist down for two excruciating hours after he become entangled in the huge auger at the Bar S Foods plant in Lawton, Oklahoma.

Amid gruesome scenes co-workers watched in horror before frantic emergency workers managed to cut the machine in half and free him.

Upton Sinclair is turning over in his grave.

Exactly what I was going to reference too. It's a Jungle I tell ya.

I have too, for 15 years now, and the tragic deaths where kids are left behind don't strike me as funny at all.

I can make a joke about certain cases, etc. But not stuff like this. What a horrific way to go.

Just in case y'all missed that there are real people behind these stories, this guy leaves behind 4 little kids. Little kids who no longer have their dad. Just sayin'.
