This reminds me of the old story about Murphy -
"Old man
Murphy had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day,
he just wasn't paying attention, tripped on the walkway and fell
over into a vat of Guiness and drowned.
The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm sorry to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned."
She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he suffer?"
"I don't think so," said the foreman: "He got out three times to go to the men's room."
