    I guess there's worse ways to go.

      I guess all his co-workers bid him bon-bon-voyage...

      On-the-job deaths in factories are nothing new... My grandfather fell into a lens-grinding machine. He made a spectacle of himself...

              I just thought there was a little more information in it. Perhaps just my dislike for Fox coming though.

                Hey Guys,

                While you might think its something to joke about, I seriously think his family sees no (good) humor in it.

                  Working in an industrial environment is a very dangerous place to be. Everyone must always be on guard to prevent accidents as they can be too easily fatal. I have seen many close calls that could have resulted in serious injury. Although no one has been badly hurt, even these images are hard to get out of my mind.

                    Gentlemen:

                    I think you missed the pun, or is it just a NY regional thing.

                    Good Humor is the name of an Ice Cream company that distributes mainly by trucks to kids.

                    One of their best treats is a chocolate coated ice cream pop.

                    Now its OK to laugh.

                      Although the situation is one that's opens many doors to "bad" jokes, the point is still that a young man lost his life at work. This is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. I guess it's because I spend every work day in an industrial location that this hits close to home.
