Have an old high school friend who worked at a place called (if I remember correctly) "Dixie Creme Donuts". He and I and another bud of ours were out drinking Southern Comfort one night. Lon had to go to work at the donut shop at about 4:30-5:00 am. We dropped him off in a far less than sober state. The next day we heard he was in the hospital. Found out he had heated up the oil (keep in mind this was 1966 or 1967) and while prepping the batter he accidently dropped the spoon in the vat of hot oil. Being rather in a fog he put his hand and arm almost to his elbow into the oild to get the spoon back. I have always felt sort of partly responsible for that. It took a long long time for that the heal. Of course, it didn't effect my passion for donuts at all.
