Many, many years ago, in my misspent youth, I had exactly two dates with a young lady that was both a tad on the prudish side and a chocoholic. I'm left to ponder what a dilemma the following story might have been for her had it happened to me back then... <wickedly delicious and roguish grin on my face> news.yahoo.com Man trapped waist-deep in chocolate KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - It might sound like a chocoholic's dream, but stepping into a vat of bubbling chocolate became a two-hour nightmare for a 21-year-old man Friday morning. Donovan Garcia, an employee of a company that supplies chocolate ingredients, said he was pushing the chocolate down into the vat at Debelis Corp. because it was stuck. But it became loose and he slid into the hopper. "It was in my hair, in my ears, my mouth, everywhere," said Garcia, who has worked at the company for two years. "I felt like I weighed 900 pounds. I couldn't move." The chocolate was 110 degrees, hotter than a hot tub, said Capt. Greg Sinnen of the Kenosha Fire Department. Co-workers, police and firefighters tried to free the man but couldn't get him loose until the chocolate was thinned out with cocoa butter. "It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand," said police Capt. Randy Berner. Garcia was treated for minor injuries at a nearby medical center and released. EK!!!
