On March 24, 1975 one of the most bizarre deaths in history took place when a fifty year old bricklayer in England named Alex Mitchell literally laughed himself to death after watching this episode of "The Goodies" a popular UK sketch comedy show similar to Monty Python. The episode involves one of the characters demonstrating a new form of karate called ecky thump which involves smacking someone with a sausage (or a pudding as it is called in England). I decided to watch this episode and see what it was about it that had literally killed a man. I found it very bizarre and didn't even laugh once! I guess the British have a different sense of humor then us Yanks. Oh well at least Alex Mitchell died happy.
