I was choking tonight



When I was about 5 years old, I found a nickel and put it in my pocket. When I went to bed that night I put it in my mouth (yeah I know... dirty) and it got lodged in my throat. I couldn't cough hard enough to get it out and I literally started hitting myself in the chest and coughing as hard as I possibly could, dislodged it after about 20 seconds or so... almost killed me.

edit* also random somewhat related... You know the large stacks of CDs/DVDs you can buy that come on a spindle. Well there is a CD shaped piece of plastic, it's a lot less rigid and thinner than a CD. Anyway I was busting it in half over and over again out of boredom breaking it into smaller pieces... well one of the pieces flew up and pegged me in the eye... had it of been harder plastic I would have lost my vision... it's crazy how one stupid mistake can cause catastrophe...
 
When I was 6 years old I was sucking on a spherical candy while in the shower. It sort of slipped and got stuck in my throat - couldn't breathe and (I too) thought I was a goner.

Kept trying to exhale and eventually shot out of my mouth though.

a real man just punches himself in the throat right in the adam's apple and forces it down to the stomach.

Next time, don't be such a bitch.

Self-Tracheotomy. Always works. Now if only MLB catchers could figure this out.
