Decades ago in Hamlet NC a chicken processing plant burned and lots of workers burned too, because the back door was locked. The owner had locked it in an attempt to keep his product from walking out of it. He may still be in prison.
“Quantrivious wins the best name award on this thread.”
With Javunte a close second.
Not enough syllables.
