Woman laughs, accidentally swallows knife

"Unexpected Swallowing of a Knife" -- that's a grabbier title than most ones you see in medical journals.

The short item, a clinical image in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, explains that a 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia had been bragging to friends that she no longer had a gag reflex. She put the knife into her mouth and then laughed -- at which point she swallowed the knife.

Eh, this thread will cut it.

[Darksheare]

I know, but the trolls lately were all so lame.

Roger. Where'd you want me to put the espressyoself machine?

Nice digs, CS, and thanks for the August invite. I've always had a soft spot for threads where Darwin Award aspirants are "honored."

[SunkenCiv]

I’m pretty impressed by this list, btw. :’)

[Silentgypsy]

How lovely! The bath-salts jazz really creeped me out.
Thank you very much.

[Monkey Face]

Is this our august home?
I will ping my lust as soon as I know for sure.

[Dead Corpse]

Nah.... Good choice. I was just trying to get some lame puns on record...

[NicknamedBob]

"Is this our august home?"

"August" used to sometimes mean noble and impressive.

Now, it has "sunk" to this.

[Cyber Liberty]

Looked real enough to me...The movers showed up out front, and there was a “Road Closed” sign.....

[NicknamedBob]

"I was just trying to get some lame puns on record..."

Try as you might, you cannot beat 'Face's inadvertent typo humor.

Has she pinged her lust at you yet?

[Dead Corpse]

It stuned my beeber...

;-)

[Monkey Face]

OMG! Whatever did I do? Or say?
This must be about the time I exit, Stage Left snd try to make amends; or not.

Help me!

[NicknamedBob]

"OMG! Whatever did I do? Or say?

Help me!"

Relax! You didn't do anything wrong. It's Darksheare's Fault:

"Is this our august home?
I will ping my lust as soon as I know for sure."

You see, if you're setting up a Mars Launch, or something, it's important to have someone around who notices details.

Most times, like now, it's just a dang nuisance.

My cat is probably just waiting for the buzzing and clicking to stop before deciding that I’m a snack.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, you know they really love us.

[Monkey Face]

Hey, Ganag! We’re over here. A home for August!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. It’s raining here, but the bees and the hummingbirds are fighting over the feeder on the sunroom window, anyway.

[Monkey Face]

Good morning. My blood pressure is all over the place. It’s high in the mornings and low in the afternoons. Almost as if I weren’t taking the meds. CFIDS is definitely insidious.

[Tax-chick]

My hormones are all over the place, too ;-).

Do you have a magic formula for getting teenagers out of bed in the morning, and then *keeping* them out of bed? I swear I would sell all the beds and make them sleep on the carpet, if the state didn’t require that every family member have a permanent bed available!
