KENOSHA, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 21-year-old man was trapped in a tank of chocolate for about two hours early Friday, police said.

Capt. Randy Berner said the worker said he got into the tank at the Debelis Corp. to unplug it and became trapped waist-deep in the chocolate.The report did not indicate whether the worker tried to eat his way out of the tank...

Reminds me of an old - VERY old - Smothers Brothers song:

I yelled "Fire!" when I fell into the chocolate.
I yelled "Fire!" when I fell into the chocolate.
Why did you yell "Fire!" when you fell into the chocolate?
Because no one would have come if I had yelled, "CHOCOLATE!"

So, did this worker die or just get indigestion from 'drinking on the job'? <g>

I'd have gone if someone yelled "CHOCOLATE!" but I'd have gone running if someone yelled "FREE CHOCOLATE!"

They pulled him out. The article was silent as to whether or not he resisted their efforts to "save" him.

They should have at the least offered the employee a discount on it. <g>

They probably would have wanted him to use his own container...

Judy, we're having a pond dug in our garden in early Sept--maybe I should fill it with chocolate! Regards, Len [g]

I thought of that fault in logic as I wrote the post. How come it had never occurred ot me in the past 30 or so years? I am likewise one who would have run toward anyone yelling "CHOCOLATE!"

My name is Bob, and I am a chocoholic.
