"Signed Out", Way to Die #522, is the first death featured in "It's a Dead, Dead, Dead World", which aired on July 15, 2012.
Plot[]
Joe was a lazy man who thought he would have a good marriage until his wife, Serena, came along and kicked his ass with the divorce papers, Serena begged Joseph to sign but he refused so Serena threatened him with report him to the police for abuse but Joe beat her to it and hit himself to make it look like she was mistreating him. The neighbors worriedly called the emergency services. When they arrived they put Joe on a stretcher and he accused Serena with the police while she told the police that she didn't touch him, luckily karma helped Serena and sent Joe into a spin and he started rolling down the hill, he screamed while the stretcher gained speed and then the stretcher hit some rocks and Joe was thrown and hit a sign that went through his stomach and lacerated his aorta causing him to bleed to death, killing him in seconds and sending this lazy freeloader to hell.

Trivia[]
- This death is similar to Cleane-Dead Solution, only the victim in that death was abusive, charged at his wife, and got stabbed in the heart, not the stomach, and they landed on a sharp part of a dishwasher, not a sign. However, both victims did not want a divorce.
- Joe's death is similar to that of Evil Flippy's death in Happy Tree Friends web series episode, "By the Seat of Your Pants".
Goofs[]
- Continuity: When Joe lands on the road sign, no blood gushes out of his stomach immediately; the next shot shows the blood already on the sign, but not gushing.
- Revealing Mistake: The shot of Joe flying up and landing onto the sign is clearly played backwards.
- Errors in geography: Despite this death taking place in Columbus Ohio, the ambulance has a West Virginia license plate on it.
- If one notices carefully, the death card is in full caps, this also happens in the next segment in the episode, HUMMUS AMONG US
