I bet if anyone had predicted this poor kid would someday be smooshed by a bowling pinsetter, he would have told them they were nuts.:eek:


OKC man crushed to death by bowling pin machine
By Wire Reports
9/15/2006

MOORE -- An Oklahoma City man who was trying to remove a jammed bowling pin died after becoming trapped in the machine, police said.

Toby Lee Williams, 20, was crushed to death Wednesday night while trying to repair a machine at AMF Moore Lanes.

A manager heard Williams scream and immediately cut the machine's power, Sgt. Todd Strickland said.

Emergency responders had to pry open the machine manually to free Williams, Strickland said. Williams was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at Norman Regional Hospital.

Williams had worked at the bowling alley for two years, Strickland said.

State Medical Examiner Kevin Rowland said Williams died of traumatic asphyxia, which occurred when his breathing and blood flow were constricted as the machine compressed his neck and chest.

Calls to AMF's corporate offices were not answered.

Ed; That's no way for a man to die.
Frank: Ehhh, you're right, Ed. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go. :)

Split him wide open.

Is this a bad pun? It sounds like a bad pun.

I'm going to have to discuss this with the 'others' and get back to you.

I wonder if they'll ROLL 'im out on the surrey with the fringe on top.

Bless his dadgum heart.

There was a story from the OKC south side several years ago... a 30-ish woman had a bat-fock crazy episode and ran out of her apartment NAKED carrying a screwdriver and a knife. A gentleman in his late 70s was sitting on a bench in the common area of the apartment complex. The nude woman ran by, paused, turned around and plunged the screwdriver into the guy's chest; rendering him needless of further oxygen.

What do you think that old guy's last thoughts were?

In breaking news, the pinsetting machine says it isn't his fault claiming "I was FRAMED!!!"

You know, for a sport populated with fat guys and beer there just aren't that many jokes about it.

I heard he was going to quit working at the bowling alley and STRIKE out on his own.

He's got one foot in the frying pan and one in the pressure cooker. Believe me, as a bowler, I know that right about now, your bladder feels like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag and your butt is kinda like an about-to-explode bratwurst.

It would suck bad to die a horrible death and then have people make fun of you.

I've got to admit, though, when that tree hugger hippy dude got mauled and devoured by a bear in Alaska, i thought it was perty dawgon funny.

I think some people would agree and others would not. I think it would be a pretty even SPLIT.

Well it would probably depend on if they had an open frame of mind.
