Lord, please give comfort to the family of this woman, this daughter, this wife, this mother of two small children. She is free from the pain and hopefully safe in Your arms.
Pretty young woman. Prayers for those she left behind.
Hey, my crunchy center has a fingernail in it!
The mother of two small children.
They will never look at a chocolate easter bunny the same ever again
“Lady fingers?”
I swear, if I don’t get in a thread in the first few minutes, all the good lines are taken! :)
But seriously, poor thing.
Gotta be quick.
We had a murder ‘mystery’ here in Wisconsin. A guy was murdered, but his death was staged as an ‘accident.’ They dumped him in a paper processing vat.
The guy charged got a new trial last year, but I don’t think it changed anything...
“Kutska and five others were convicted of conspiring to murder Monfils in 1992 at the former James River Paper Mill in Green Bay. Monfils was found dead in a paper pulp vat after reportedly being missing from his work station in the mill. A 50-pound weight was tied to his neck.”
I don’t know about YOU, but I always wear a 50# weight around my neck while working around vats of paper pulp! *Rolleyes*
Russians don't waste food.
...I take it that’s not what herring looks like?
Yes, not recommended. There are warnings about not wearing loose jewelry and ties when working near machinery. I've seen YouTube videos of workers getting pulled into machinery due to loose jewelry. Now, Mr. T might wear a 50# gold necklace, but not me.
You win the Internets!
Well... Yes and No.
Not the regular herring we are used to getting picked in wine or sour cream sauce.
And not the cute little herring that end up as Bristling Sardines or anchovies on your pizza.
But on the other side of the world there is a species called "Wolf Herring" which are toothy, nasty predatory creatures. In Asian markets (and evidently in Russia as well) they are commonly consumed.
They might need a bit of dressing up for the dinner table.
Then there was the fellow who fell into the lens grinding machine. He made a spectacle of himself.
He yelled “Fire!” when he fell into the chocolate because he figured no one would show up if he yelled “Chocolate!”
I was a kid during WWII and remember hearing the grownups talking about women getting killed or disfigured because their hair got caught in the machinery. A lot of women at that time were were copying actress Veronica Lake's hair style and were hurt for that reason. That's why you see Rosie the Riveter with a bandana around her head.
[Sidebar. Sinclair wrote an expose called "The Jungle" - about horrible working conditions in the Chicago meat packing industry. He related how one guy fell into a rendering vat and disappeared.
The public was outraged, not over the harsh working conditions, but that some guy possibly ended up as their bread spread.]
It's only ghoulish if you know about it. Horrible that the Nazis rendered some Jews into fat for soap, and the users of soap had no idea. The FDA allows a small percentage of "insect" and "rodent" parts in food. I always wonder if that percentage includes human parts from accidents. What you don't know, won't hurt you, right?
I've had close calls with machinery in my youth when I worked in machine shops, because accidents do happen. I've been cautious over the decades because of seeing it happen to others. One time training some teenagers on table saws, despite my repeated warnings to keep their hands clear of danger, watched a kid run the sawblade through his hand on a table saw, took him to emergency care. Another not clamping down metal parts on a drillpress and seeing a part tear up the guy's hand. They just didn't listen to my safety rules. One time I'm at a drill press against a wall, a guy is cutting a huge sheet of thick metal with an overhead sawblade running along a chain and pulleys. He bit into the metal too fast and a bunch of carbide teeth went zinging past my ear and embedded into the wall in front of me. Missed my brain by a couple inches. I got the boss to move the drill press! I soon switched to desk jobs, much safer.
That’s how *we* met.
I think that was a can of Soviet-era herring recovered by South African troops during the “Border War” in Angola.
