A long time ago, even before many UHH-ers were even thought of, one of the methods recommended for testing workers as to their state after keeling over was to wave a pay-check near their noses. If there was no reaction, they were obviously dead. With the automatic deposits system at play in most workshops, what is a good alternative item to use for the non-intrusive test? Are there any now?

PS., A kick is an intrusive test.

What if it was a Free Lunch that was responsible for the keel?

Exactly. Also a forerunner for the "Living-dead".

Definition of keel (Entry 1 of 5)
intransitive verb

1: to fall in or as if in a faint —usually used with over
keeled over from exhaustion

Not a spell check problem, a limited understanding of the English language problem
Don't criticize unless you check your facts!

Sorry but no facts were presented, just one word, keel. Commonly used it goes with a ship. Now had you written keeled over then all of us would have understood.

Don’t confuse my lack of understanding with your own inability to present ALL the facts needed to understand WTF you are trying to say.

It was not my post originally.
"Keeling over " and "Keeled over" are just a different tenses of the same phrase. Keeling over is the act of, while keeled over, the act has already happened. Both acceptable English phrases.
But alas, the thread deviates
Stay with the joke!
ps, using foul language (WTF) doesn't make your point any clearer

From Merriem: Definition of keel

Nota bene: In the good ole days, it also included "Dropping Dead."
