Uh... Thanks anyway. Gosh! Do you know how many pens I have kicking around at home? It’s very nice, but you go on. Really, no thanks!

She was using the pen to poke her tonsils, examining them with a handheld mirror as she stood on stairs, a report from gastroenterologist Dr. Oliver Walters explained. While doing this, she lost her balance and stumbled down a couple steps, swallowing the pen in the process. At the time, X-rays didn’t show any evidence of the object in her stomach, and the issue was forgotten. Could have been worse.

LOL! That wasn't that bad.
And I seriously have a LOT of pens, being a long-time pen freak and generally all-around stationery store junkie.

I owned a Fisher Space pen when I lived in Juneau in the Sixties. It lived up to the advertisements. Great pen!

Did she not have an alarm go off in her head while standing on stairs with a sharp object in her throat that said "This is going to be good."
