Extricated From The Stew He Was About To Become

“He,” in this case, was one Jason Hammond of Jacksonville, Fla., who tried to break into a restaurant through its ventilation system.  If he would have been successful, he would have landed into a pool of hot oil.  As it was, the steam from the frying oil hit his exposed leg, which was painful enough that he screamed.

A similar thing happened in St. Louis in March 2006.
