A factory worker in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was trapped waist-deep in a vat of 110° dark chocolate for over two hours yesterday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Darmin Garcia, 21, was apparently trying to free up some chocolate stuck in a vat when he accidentally slid in and got his pants stuck in a roller. Co-workers attempted to thin the viscous chocolate with cocoa butter and firefighters eventually plucked Garcia out after removing chocolate from the vat, allowing him to get out of his stuck pants. "It was in my hair, in my ears, my mouth, everywhere," Garcia told the MJS.Man trapped in tank of chocolate

I know I should feel badly for this guy, and I'm sure it was traumatic for him...but why does this sound like ultimate joy to me?

Did he yell "fire!" when he fell into the chocolate?
(...old joke... after all, who would come to the rescue if he yelled "Chocolate!)

That's a new twist on a "mud bath". All joking aside,
I'm glad the guy wasn't hurt.

Okay,so let me get this right; this guy's worst problem that day was that he got to wade nude in a comfortably warm tub of melted chocolate!? I want his life. Not only that but think of all the chocolate-dipped _ _ _ _s jokes all the local ladies will be making - what a great icebreaker!
