Pardon my ignorance, I've never worked in it.

I used to work as a baker - a colleague burnt his arm badly on an oven and ran into the walk-in freezer to put his arm on the floor and cool it. It stuck and tore off the top layer of burned skin.

After it scabbed over, he burnt it on the oven again in the same place and it stuck to the oven and tore the scab off.

Edit- as you've got the skills, I may have to start badgering you for lovely cake.

# Excellent book.
One of my favourites :)

# One of mine too.
In fact, the only sad book that I love, really. I'm not a huge fan of things that make me sad.

# I defy anyone to read this book

# *nods* at all of it, really.
Sometimes I can barely manage to read it as I know how sad it is, but I muddle through.

Have you seen the film verson? I had to turn it off after 5 minutes.

# It's an excellent book but a shit film
in which regard it is remarkably similar to Kurt Vonnegut's 'Harrison Bergeron'.

# Well worth a read.
Sort of the opposite of Flowers for Algernon. It's set in an oppressive future where everything has to be average and all excellence is stomped down - strong people wear weights to make them as weak as everyone else, intelligent people have headphones with noises to stop them thinking etc.

Harrison Bergeron breaks free of this and is killed for it. Another sad story, particularly his parents' reaction.


EDIT: Here you go...

# Aha, another great story, though a short one.
I've heard of the film but deliberately avoided it. The actual story is very amusing though.

# I haven't seen the film, it's called Charlie? (I think)
It's one of those books that just wouldn't translate to film because a lot of the humour is how his language evolves in the diary. The day he finds out about punctuation is my favourite.
