Though Alfe suffered third degree burns, doctors were pleased to announce that the leg was 'succulent and moist.'
It was just another lazy November afternoon in Mount Prospect, and Serafino Alfe was deep-frying turkeys for an annual fundraiser. But at a critical moment, Alfe tripped on a piece of cardboard and found his footing where the turkey should’ve been.
As a result, “I tripped and fell right into the deep fryer… Thirty quarts of hot oil poured over my leg and I basically fried myself,” said Alfe. He sustained third degree burns across one of his legs, requiring an operation to be scheduled for the day before Thanksgiving. Both Alfe and Loyola University Medical Center attributed the accident in large part to outdated equipment; a sealed fryer would’ve prevented the accident altogether.
But there is a silver lining – now, you can enjoy William Shatner being excessively dramatic yet informative regarding turkeys, hot oil, and ‘dingle-dangles.’ [Source]
