Leave it to Seizure

Sign in to edit


"Leave it to Seizure", Way to Die #173, is the sixth death to be featured in "Wait, Don't Tell Me – You're Dead", which aired on August 15, 2011.

Plot[]

Janelle was a cute girl. She was also a cage dancer. When Janelle sneakily steals one of her customer's money, he asks her about the money, but Janelle says, "I didn't take your money". In response, the security guard gets furious and grabs an innocent man and kicks him out. Then, after Janelle counted her money, she walked into her cage. The owner activated the new strobe lights he got for the set, and the lights run at such an intense rate it gives her a grand mal seizure, which results in her biting off a chunk of her own tongue and choking on it, soon after dying of asphyxiation while still strapped to the cage and being sent to Hell for all eternity. The clientele has no idea of what just happened, assuming her seizure convulsions are part of her routine.

Transcript[]

(Master of Death is playing)

Narrator: Time and Jacks are one of those whore the world that specialized in strippers who can wrap themselves around the pole and waves you ever dreamed of. And then there was... Janelle.

(Janelle lap dances on one of the customers)

Narrator: Who for little extra will give you your own special hap wrap.

(Female Lovers Death is playing)

Lola: Going on stages is like advertising. And so you pay attention to... who is tipping y ou and who is responding to you, people who are in big groups, 10 to not tip as much, I tend to go for the guys that are by themselves and then you also look at who's getting more change from the bar, who has big stack of ones in front of them, and then those who be the guys that you go and try to get a lot downswear.

(Jimi Funk Riff is playing)

Narrator: Janelle was so good at her job, that she will leave you breathless.

(Janelle sneakily steals the money from the customer's pocket)

Narrator: And pennies.

Customer: Where's my money?

([] is playing)

Janelle: I didn't take your money.

(The security guard kicks the customer out)

Narrator: A fool out of money her soon part. Especially in this clip joint.

(The Science of Comedy is playing, Janelle counts her cash)

Narrator: After counting her cash,

Owner: It's Janelle!

(Janelle walks into the cage, Strobe Light Death is playing)

Narrator: the curvy scam artist jumped into the cage and strap herself in.

(The owner activates the strobe lights. BEWARE: Epilepsy coming through!!!)

Narrator: And when the new strobe system she knew all eyes will be on her...

(The strobe lights fasten quicker and quicker, as Janelle starts to shake as her intense cage dance routine quickly transitions into convulsions from a epileptic seizure)

Narrator: The audience was mesmerized.

(Janelle begins to bleed out her mouth before slumping over while still standing, dead)

Narrator: So was Janelle. The strobe was lighting up on her neurons on 30 flashes in second. And she was dancing like she never had before. That's because she was having a grand mal seizure.

(If she died from seizure, why was she bleeding? Well, it wasn't the seizure that killed her... CGI shows what killed her, Future Bali is playing)

Dr. Cynthia Cotharn: In the visual cortex of the brain, where vision and light are processed, filtering from the strobe light in this case can cause a seizure.

(In fact she bit her own tongue, chokes on it)

Dr. Cynthia Cotharn: Which she has a seizure, the muscle of her jaw contracted, she bit down on her tongue, the tongue started to bleed from 5th feet, she choked on her tongue, and she died.

(Female Lovers Death is resuming, recap of Janelle steals customer's money while lap dancing, having seizure while dancing in the cage)

Narrator: Janelle knew how to shake it and shakedown, but when the lights started flashing, she seized up and then it was lights out.
