I knew an adult who swallowed the lines that John Kerry is qualified to be President of the United States, and that Hillary Clinton is an honest woman. He never passed them.

My son swallowed a drill bit. Now *that* was really horrible for my mom. He was with her in the work shed, about three feet away. He picked up a drill bit and asked her what it was.

My poor mom almost died! lol!
