"Fore Head", Way To Die #479, is the fifth death to be featured in "Come On, Get Deathy", which aired on January 20, 2010.
Plot[]
A thief named Dickie hides behind a "Virtual Golf" display in an arcade to wait for closing time. Bored and impatient, he cuts a hole in the display screen to see outside and, as he is looking, someone hits a golf ball into the screen, which strikes Dickie in the forehead, fracturing his skull and killing him instantly thus sending him to hell, and putting an end to his plans before they even began.
"Nobody would accuse Dickie of being overly bright. In fact, this guy was all knuckle and no head. While waiting for everyone to clear out, he got restless. He cut a hole in a projection screen, to see how things were going. At this point, you should be saying to yourself: 'Well, that's a stupid idea...' FORE!!!"
