Why did the man jump into the vat of chocolate?

Because he was nuts.

A Smothers Brothers Prophecy

Tom:
I fell in a vat of chocolate
I fell in a vat of chocolate
I fell in a vat of chocolate
La-dee-do-da-la-dee-do-di-day.

I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate
I yelled fire when I fell into the chocolate
La-dee-do-da-la-dee-do-di-day.

Dick:

Why’d you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate?
Tom, why’d you yell fire when you fell into the chocolate?

Tom:
I yelled fire cause no one wouild save me if I yelled “Chocolate!”
La-dee-do-da-la-dee-do-di-day.

I’m not alone…

Unfortunately in search of Corporate Profit$ their is a place in Michigan called American Bumper that manufacturers bumpers. (Really) They are on a production schedule that is so tight that the safety guards have been taken off.

Everyone is aware of this and they work because it is the only manufacturing plant for miles other than prisons. in one year 5 people were crushed and died. OSHA came in and could not find anything defective about the machine other than an employee had taken the safety guard off because it slowed down production by 2 or 3 bumpers per hour.

Oh and the exclusive remedy for on the job injuries in Michigan is Workers Comp. and if you die the maximum benefits payable is 280K. I guess this is a real cost benefit analysis.

“OSH Act of 1970
SEC. 5. Duties
(a) Each employer –

(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;…”

Falls are most certainly recognized hazards in any manufacturing process.
