A British butcher who got locked in a freezer says he was saved by a frozen sausage that he used as a battering ram. Chris McCabe says he became trapped in the walk-in freezer at his shop in Totnes, southwest England, last month when wind blew the door shut. The safety button to open the door had frozen in the -20 C (-4 F) chill. McCabe told website Devon Live that he used the meaty tube "like a battering ram" and managed to unstick the button after several blows.

After he used his sausage to bash his way out, he noticed a frozen knockwurst he could have used instead.

If I were designing a safety system for a freezer, I think I would do a better job.

This is going to be an epic thread if the mods allow it. I wish one of them got the stick out of their butt. I have noticed a similar verbiage/grammar patern each time I get muted. Same dude/gal.
