Father, son die in manure pond at dairy ‘If you step in, it sucks you in,’ sheriff says The Associated Press Updated: 12:01 a.m. ET March 8, 2006

GRANGEVILLE, Calif. - A dairy worker and his 8-year-old son died in a manure pit on the farm where they lived, authorities said Tuesday.

Luis Gutierrez, 27, and Luis Armando Gutierrez went to feed calves Saturday night and apparently stumbled upon the manure pit in the dark, investigators said.

OK This just made it on to my top ten list of ways I do NOT want to get my ticket punched.

Sorry, but this sounds like BS to me

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

I smell foul play.

[Lurker]

Talk about a crappy way to go.

Death, where is thy stink?

The fact that it was a manure pit makes this no less tragic, and it could have been a pit of gummy bears and still it wouldn't be the least bit humorous to me. Someone just lost their husband, dad, brother, and so on. Indeed, they leave behind a young mother/wife and 3 other children/siblings. So tragic. God help those left behind.

Wow. What a $#!++y way to go.

It is usually the gases that do you in. You pass out and end up drowning in the crap. This is not the first time this has happened.

The 9-year-old was the oldest of four children Luis Gutierrez had with his 22-year-old wife, Maria.

Talk about robbing the cradle "assuming" the article has the wife's correct age.

WOW! I never noticed that. Good catch.

Part of me is going,, EEWWWWWW
Part of me is going, OMG!!
Part of me is going,, Hmmm, I coulda went all my life never knowing this and it wouldn't have mattered!!!
Part of me is going,, Can I somewhat accurately imagine the stench?

No part of me is going to remember any of this in a week.

Prayers for the family.

‘If you step in, it sucks you in,’

Pretty accurately describes 'Big Government'.

Another really bad way to go.

Reminds me of what happened to the new Republicans in Congress in '94.

A dairy where I worked growing up had several dogs, including 2 border collies. These dogs LOVED to fetch anything you threw. One afternoon a 4-H group visited and one kid threw a stick out across the honey pond. The dog ran along the top of the "crust" for several yards and then *bloop* in she went. Justice was served when the collie, faithful and tenacious, pulled herself out [sticky, rank and green] and obediently returned the stick to the boy - and leaped up and down on him till he would throw it again.

He lost major cool points with his friends that day.

Hilarious!

Didn't know that dairy farms had those honey ponds. I must have led a sheltered life growing up in WI.

That would be an awful way to go. How tragic!

[nuke rocketeer]

Plus he probably had to clean all that long fur! Talk about a job! We have a half collie mutt that loves to roll in deer poop piles and cleaning him up is a major PITA.

[Dashing Dasher]

That's just crap!

"Didn't know that dairy farms had those honey ponds. I must have led a sheltered life growing up in WI. "

Isn't that what y'all funnel into the Limberger?

[EveningStar]

That's just crap!

What a sh!tty thing to say, DD! :D~
