A high-pressure food processor being tested to make guacamole exploded in upstate New York on Wednesday morning — killing a former mayor and injuring two other people, according to a report.

Former Rensselaer Mayor Joseph Kapp, 67, died of injuries from the blast that occurred shortly after 7 a.m. at Innovative Test Solutions in Schenectady, the Times Union reported.
Two other people suffered less serious injuries and were admitted for treatment at the hospital, the outlet reported.

The fatal explosion occurred as the food processor was undergoing tests to assess its viability for manufacturing guacamole.

It’s unclear what caused the blast, but fire crews do not believe the incident was suspicious, news station WRGB reported.

Kapp, who was also a trustee of Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, was remembered by colleagues for his “legacy of service and accomplishment that greatly benefited Rensselaer County and the Capital Region.”

“He was humble with accomplishments around the world and a resume that had to be seen to believed,” HVCC board chairman Neil Kelleher told the Times Union.
“His work at Hudson Valley helped make the college a shining star and we hope his work there is remembered.”

"Close our borders ?!? But they make such good food!"

Why the fuck do you need a guacamole maker?

To make guacamole, of course.

 

[DrunkenDozing]

All aboard the guacamocalypse.

To make guacamole, of course.

the only thing you need to make Guac is a Molcajete and temolote REEEEEE

 

[Titos]

Allahu Guakbar!
Guacamole is disgusting and Avocados are like eating tasteless clay.

 

[RodgerDodger]

That's gotta be some spicy Guacamole!

(I'm a bad man. Minor PL, I have some friends that knew him when he was the Mayor and later at Hudson Valley College. They say he was the nicest guy you could ever meet. Just the sort you felt happy to have in your community. )

They busted a Kapp....

 

[verygayFrogs]

You know what they say, here today, Guac tomorrow. And I guess he’s between a rock and a guac place after hitting guac bottom. I’m assuming the death was from a lack of guacxogen. And I’m guessing his wife is very seed about it.

Some people only talk the talk. But this mayor went and guac'd the guac. F for respects.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

I prefer salsa over guac but.....shit what's the obituary gonna say?

Joseph Kapp
Lost his life due to a guacamole explosion
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that tortilla chips be sent instead

Why the fuck do you need a guacamole maker?
you cut the avocado, remove the seed, remove the flesh from the avocado and mix it with salt and some lime juice in a mortar and pestle and bam you're fucking done.

You forgot the diced peppers and onions, though

Allahu Guakbar!
Guacamole is disgusting and Avocados are like eating tasteless clay.

If you ate something besides takis and pop tarts, you might be able to enjoy food.

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

Avocado go to heaven .

 

[not william stenchever]

He just wanted to make a whole lot of guacamole

 

[Angry New Ager]

Jesus, man--all you needed was a goddamned fork to make guac, or maybe a pastry cutter if you're doing a big batch. If your avos are ripe, it takes very little effort to mash them. And now you've gone and killed yourself by trying to get fancy with this shit. And you were probably using hard, underripe avocados, too, which would explain why you felt you needed a high-pressure food processor to do the job.

Do they not have Mexicans in Schenectady? Sometimes, you've just got to pay the consulting fee when you don't know what the fuck you're doing, and this was clearly one of those times.

Was he... officially opening it or something? Like, they invited him to cut the ribbon in some ceremonial turning-on of the new high-pressure guacamole making machine, and it blew up with him there?

If this were a comic book, that would be the freak accident that creates the super villain "Doctor Guac".

 

[Snekposter]

We already have Doc Guac though. He decided to do the most supervillainous thing possible and become an elected US federal politician, and was thankfully defeated by New York City's finest hero, The Trump Card.
