Hurry Up and Die[]

"Is there a doctor in the house? Make that a mortician. We've got a fresh batch of cold ones to dig into, like the guy who got swept away, or the wrestlers who got carried away. How about the drunk who had no heart, or the lovers who sprung a leak? There's a mailman who wound up in the dunk tank, and... a rocker who blew his fecal mind. They all make lovely corpses on the next episode of 1000 Ways to Die."

Mel


On August 14, 2002, in Olathe, KA. An obnoxious mailman who has a second job as the target at the local carnival's dunk tank insults the customers with embarrassing secrets he culls from their mail. Over time, balls that miss the target repeatedly hit the fuse box for the tank's water heater and damage the wiring until it makes contact with the water. When one customer (a former professional baseball player who spent two years playing the game in Japan) hits the target, the mailman falls into the tank and is electrocuted.

Cedric

On September 17, 2002, in Provo, UT. A Keith Richards-esque rock star and notorious drug addict freaks out when he runs out of drugs and his band gets stranded in a dry town, until one of his roadies suggests that he try jenkem. When he is no longer able to defecate, he finds a port-a-potty, sticks his head in, and gets high, but suffers from a brownout and loses consciousness. Because his heads still in the toilet, he asphyxiates from lack of oxygen and excess of methane gas to his hemoglobin.
