Yes, there's nothing as funny as joke about the working classes dying as they labor.

Here in danger city, as we like to call Fremont, there's a severe concern that one of the 4277 zombies roaming the streets will harm one of the organic fair trade chocolate factory workers.

Chocolate-covered brains - they're what's for dinner!

Horrifying. Back in the day, I worked with roofing tar and that shit scared the crap out of me. It was hundreds of degrees hot and if it got on you, it stuck mercilessly. Chocolate smells better, but this story made my skin wince in sympathy.

There was a smothers brothers song along those lines...

Tommy: Oh, I fell into a vat of chocolate (repeat 3x)
La de doo dum, la dee do dum day.

Dicky: What's you do when you fell into the chocolate (3x +Lddd,ldddd)

Tommy: I yelled "fire" when I fell into the chocolate (3x +Lddd,ldddd)

Dicky: Why'd you yell "fire when you fell into the chocolate (3x +Lddd,ldddd)

Tommy: [Spoken] I yelled "Fire when I fell into the chocolate because no one would have saved me if I yelled "CHOCOLATE!"

That must be some shitty, low quality chocolate. The high quality stuff burns if you bring it to a boil.

I imagine that was one of the more painful ways to die. Hysterical.

Yes, this is really a laff riot, Slog. I'm sure his family will appreciate your hilarity at his horrific demise.

@17 Maybe when Megan loses somebody close to her, she can gather a group of smug hipsters to make witty quips about the demise.

Was knocked unconscious by one of the mixing paddles. The chocolate was 120° F.
