Thanks, but this sounds like a very bizarre accident to me. While it was stupid of him to use a bucket to stand on, he could have just as easily lost his balance on a ladder and ended up killing himself the same way. Thanks just the same.

Yes the bucket of mayonnaise makes it a bit cartoony, but in the end it was just an accident. Thanks just the same, and do keep 'em coming as you find them!
