"Greased Is The Word", Way to Die #89, is the fifth death to be featured in "Up With Death", which aired on December 16, 2009.

Plot[]

Gomer, a parolee let out after doing time for a failed stick-up attempt, plans his next attack to be on a jewelry store. To prepare for it, he puts on a fish-net mask and takes out his gun. However, due to the mask blocking his vision, Gomer accidentally ends up walking into a gun shop, and Gomer was shot to death by the clerks and customers inside when he pulls out his gun, with one of the bullets hitting his heart, killing him instantly.
