>>The scariest moment of my life was when I was feeding my infant daughter a banana, letting her nibble it while I held it. My attention was momentarily drawn to the TV and when I turned back to her she had sucked the banana out of the skin and it was lodged whole in her mouth and down her throat. I banged her back and she ejected it. She cried of course but that was the least of my concerns. I shudder to recall that day. So many ways to die ...

>Haha, this reminds me of the time I almost choked to death on a french fry! I was sitting in my car eating one of those fast food wonderful meals when a fry went down the wrong way. I know I was turning colors, but I remember thinking, "I've been shot at, thrown out of cars, had horses fall into a ravine while landing on top of me, etc. and now I'm going to die because of a french fry". I hit myself in the solar plexis and it came out. Whew!

Damn! and you're STILL alive! I think I'll have to just burn the effigy next, then grind the ash into dust and blow it in the wind. See if you survive THAT, sucker!
