Deep throat...er...I mean, it's stuck deep in my throat...wait a minute...nevermind

[mylittledemon]

haha...i thought I'd lure you guys in with the topic. Anyway...i was eating some popcorn and one of those seed/shell things that normally sticks in your teeth is caught in the back of my throat! It feels like its stuck near the adam's apple and NOTHING i try will get it out. I've tried eating bread, soup, sodas, orange juice...I'm too full to try anything else...I even tried shoving my toothbrush down there. It's DRIVING ME MAD.

okay well I'll take the deafening silence as proof that I've further alienated myself from my fellow Ledge-mates. Chalk that one up in the win column!

I wish I could help, but I am not really an expert when it comes to things stuck in a throat. I usually spit or swallow.

Hey, you asked for it.

Yeah I was thinking this topic could go in about a million different directions. At any rate...its really driving me to distraction. It's been stuck there for about 3 hrs now. *sigh*....

Eeeek! I hate when I eat popcorn and get a hull stuck in my throat. I usually do some sort of hacking to try to dislodge it, or drink lots of water or something. It irritates your throat though.

Is it gone yet?

I had it happen with a piece of bacon (!) right before I caught my flight to see Stevie in Vegas. The culprit was an A&W Bacon n' Egger, and there was a little piece of bacon didn't seem to want to go down. It wasn't large enough to choke me, but it WAS large enough to be a big f*cking annoyance. Anyway, it look about 4 hours and a helluva lot of water to get that bitch down. Sooooooo, jusy wait it out, I guess...and drink a lot.

I think hard alcohol is your only hope now.

No, really! All the burny fluids might help dissolve it and if not, you'll be too pie-eyed you won't even notice it anymore! How long has it been there now?

I hate when this happens...it SUCKS.

I only eat popcorn when I go to the movies tho so it doesn't happen often.
