“It got stuck but I could still breathe,” Greig Irvine, of Glasgow, told SWNS. “I wanted to make myself sick just so I could get it out. It was weird because it always goes according to plan as it would come out in the toilet later. I could feel it in my chest but I just kept on drinking.”

Irvine said he got nervous hours later and didn’t want to fall asleep over fear that he would die, so he went to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where doctors ordered an X-ray to spot the coin.

“They put me to sleep and put a camera in my throat and pulled it up,” Irvine, who claims he missed several days of work and felt guilty about taking the place of a patient in need, told SWNS.

I have a vague memory of swallowing a coin or thinking of it; but never heard that it actually happened. Maybe there’s just something oddly tempting about it to little ones.

I’ll bet Mom doesn’t think this was very smart either.

[jackibutterfly]

I don’t get it - so what was the stunt - what was he trying to accomplish?

Good thing it wasn’t Yap money.

A Scotchman swallowing a coin? That would seem a contradiction in terms. Must have been an Irishman, or a liberal, or some one else. Over here we think that Grand Canyon was formed when a Scotchman dropped a coin down a rabbit hole.

Please... like this is the first guy on the planet to do something stupid to try to impress a girl or his friends???

The line of guys who haven’t done this is shorter than the line to see a Biden rally.

You should listen to your father. You are an idiot.

Not only that copper wire was invented by 2 Scotsman fighting over a penny.

Why is there a swallow on Slovenian coins?

MEMO TO MORON: Next time eat a £5 Five Pound Note.

Make sure to chew it first.

Hi.

Reminds me of an old story in the bible. Regarding paying tribute, a fish, Simon son of Jonah and Jesus the Christ.

Simon was not yet Peter.

What Gospel?

The fad of eating sushi began decades ago with a gold fish at a frat party.......

A Scotchman swallowing a coin?
My Dad used to tell us that Puget Sound was formed because a Scotchman dropped a nickel down a gopher hole.

[BenLurkin]

Wow. I’m going to have to guess. Pretty sure it’s one of the synoptic Gospels.

Mark is too short. Matthew focuses on the identity of Christ. Luke?

Hey Doc keep the change.

Hey genius, next time swallow a CR-32 battery. Same size as a coin, but will help you rethink acting out stunts of this level of brilliance.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I sobered up since, hence no sushi for me.

Pun of the day.

Matthew 17. I forget the chapter.
