Things What Done Fell from the Sky: Shocking BBQ

Eric Brocklebank was grilling outside during a thunderstorm when lightning hit the fork he was using to barbecue sausages. Apparently, the lightning surged through his body and out his feet, leaving him only slightly injured.

While his arm was burned, the lightning did surprisingly little damage. Brocklebank is expected to make a full recovery.

I was told the only thing I could say as I was drifting in and out of consciousness was 'sausages'.
