"Dip 'N Die", Way to Die #206, is the fourth death featured in "Getting A Rise From The Dead", which aired on February 16, 2011.
Plot[]
A man named George Pucker is a member of a vigilante illegal-alien hunting group called "The Minutemen". George also had an addiction to chewing tobacco, chewing the equivalent of 4 packs of cigarettes a day. George goes down a dirt road and hits a big rock, causing him to bite his tongue while chewing tobacco. George also suffered from a rare genetic condition called erectile glossitis, which caused his tongue to swell up due to the tobacco juices entering the wound. George ultimately chokes to death on his swelling tongue.

Trivia[]
- A variation of the "In the end, he did do his country a big favor... by dying" line from doggerel was used in the doggerel for Way to Die #127.
- It is based on the death of Allan Pinkerton. He died when he contracted gangrene after falling, and biting his tongue, however, conflicting reports indicate that he died of a stroke in his place. It may also be based on a man who's tongue was bitten by a snake after it stuck it's tongue out at him.
- George's facial expression in the death card is similar to Bernie's in Forked-Up, despite George's eyes are closed, foaming and not split.
- The truck that George rode is a 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The "FX4 Off-Road" decal and the wheel hinted that truck.
