Thanks, RR. Poor guy. RIP.

I know I shouldn't laugh, (and not laughing at him) but the comments on this thread are funny.

Joe: When are the liberals going to ban hot dogs?
Bill: Uh, Joe, have you heard of Michelle Obama’s school lunch program?
Joe: Oh, sorry, I forget they are working on doing so.

I won’t watch one of these eating contests for fear of seeing someone choke to death. Choking is a big fear of mine.

I’m afraid of being choked by a clown.

I am not crazy about clowns either but my fear of choking comes from being an asthmatic when I was a child.... Not being able to breathe is scarier than clowns.

Mine too. I recently overcame a psychological disorder called phagophobia (yes, it’s pronounced fagophobia). It’s a great fear of swallowing, and for several weeks I had trouble swallowing food. I finally went to a doctor for it and he prescribed anti-anxiety medication and I got better. But I will not eat hot dogs. I have heard of too many people either choking or nearly choking on them.

I am glad that you are overcoming your fear, mine is not that serious but it does make me cautious when I eat.

I was thinking, if I ever died in a peculiar way, for example, if I was to drink a 12-pack of beer, slather honey all over my self and run naked through the woods, only to get mauled by a bear, I'm betting that people here on Free Republic would post an article about it and it would draw at least 200 pithy replies in the first few hours.

I would like to thank you in advance for all your witty comments with regard to my demise. It was all fun until the bear part. I would not advise anybody to do what I did.
