"R.I.P.-PED", Way to Die #673, is the fourth death featured in "Today's Menu: Deep Fried Death", which aired on December 8, 2010.
Plot[]
Ted was a 70 year old man in a 35 year old body. He stayed strong, not just because he exercised a lot, because he mainly depended on a mixture of vegetable juices and steroids to keep his body pumped.
Pauline Nordin: You can work 24 hours a week, but if you don't pay attention to your diet, you will never get these kinds of muscles. Steroids come with a lot of bad side effects: Liver failure, the heart can grow out of place, you get.. bitch tits which is big boobs as a man. That's not attractive.
Steroids turned Ted into the neighborhood asshole, the only thing he truly loved was his juicer. With a three quarter horsepower engine, its razor-sharp blades spun at over 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). It sliced the raw produce into bits, and then centrifugal force separated out the juice. He worked his juicer to a pulp to maintain his muscles, including dozens of pineapples, stalks of celery and anything else Ted could squeeze in, but his trusty juicer had an expiration date. After years of abuse, one of the wires shorted out, causing it to overheat and suddenly explode, the force of the explosion sent the blade flying, impaling itself in Ted's neck, severing his carotid artery, causing massive hemorrhaging, when the smoke cleared, Ted was dead.
Dr. Reza Jamehdor: In this situation, once the juicer exploded, the blade severed his common carotid artery. This artery provides blood to the brain. Because it is such a big vessel, this would lead to significant hemorrhage, and death within seconds.
Sending this steroid-filled jerk to Hell where he could work on his physique and juice for all eternity.
Narrator: Ted was a big old bull moose who liked to juice. But then his juicer blew a gasket and Ted wound up in a casket.
