Do you think you could deep fry your own face?

Could you calmly turn on the industrial fryer and dip your head, face first, into the hot oil?

This assumes that you wish to end yourself, of course.

That would be a crappy way out. Too low chance of death, high chance of pain and long term scaring.

After paying my dues in fast food and getting splashed with the oil enough, I'd definitely say fuck that. In fact, being splashed by molten iron isn't as bad as fryer oil. It at least rolls right off your skin (Yes, I've been burnt by molten iron enough to know, too.)

I'd rather go face first into molten iron and kill myself from the shock before I really felt the pain of being burnt.

I used to work in a small restaurant back in high school. One night, we were cleaning the line (two of us) and the other guy decided it was a good idea to stand on the edge of the fryer to bring down the vent hoods. He slipped, and his leg, up to around the knee, slid into the fryer.

He screamed bloody murder and we took him to the hospital, but after they cut off the oil-soaked pants from his leg, it looked like a messed up piece of cooked meat and I doubt it ever got much better.

So to answer the question in the OP, no.

wow, that's crazy, I cringe just reading it. How long was his leg in the fryer and was he able to walk ok? How long would your leg have to be in the fryer before you'd have to amputate?

It was only in there about 30 seconds. I was on the other end of the line and he was kind of stuck against the wall, with his shoe lodged in the bottom of the fryer. A couple of us got to him at around the same time and pulled him out. Unfortunately I think having the oil-soaked pants stuck to his leg made the injury worse than it would have been.

I wonder how long it'd take to die from plunging your head into a deep fryer, up to your neck.

You'd prob pass out in about 5 secs and die not too long after that

I like to think I'm pretty smart, but I too did some really retarded stuff in high school.

When I read the title of this thread all I got was a visual of being able to peel a piece of my face off like a chicken finger and it makes my stomach turn.

KT, how do you not know what happened to him after bringing him to the hospital? Did you quit right after that or did he just never come back or something.

Yeah he never came back after that. We were not really close friends or anything, so that was pretty much the last I saw of him.
