Paramedics were called to the scene at Big Earl's Market and Emporium in downtown Skillet Lick on Monday to extricate Earl Ray Hyndman from the market's meat grinder. Earl Ray, also known as "Big Thumb" Hyndman was not seriously injured and was treated at the scene.
The slightly embarrassed Hyndman admitted to being distracted when the incident happened. "I like to listen to music while I'm working and sometimes I get to moving to the beat" he said. " That Beyonce can really get ya going and I got to dancin and backed right into the grinder."
Customers in the store at the time indicated that the song "Put a Ring On it" could be heard coming from the butcher shop area at the time of the accident.
"Not something I ever want to experience again," said Doris Smith, who was purchasing chops at the time. "That thing just grabbed him from behind and twisted him around like a corkscrew a time or two before he broke loose."
Hyndman, a butcher for 22 years, indicated that this was the first accident he had ever had that didn't involve his fingers. "I'll be more careful in the future," he said, "but the worst thing about this whole thing is - I got a little behind in my work."
This story is a complete fabrication and is a figment of a distorted imagination and based on a bad joke. Please don't take offense.
