C’mon, at some point in your life you’ve swallowed a small metal object, right? It’s a part of growing up! Our warehouse manager’s eight-year-old recently swallowed a quarter. Why? He was hungry, ya turkey! Why else would he eat a quarter? In all honesty, he explained that he was playing with the coin, fell off the bed, and it went right down his throat. Seems perfectly feasible.
I can relate. A few years ago, when I was a young, naive 26-year-old, I accidentally swallowed the tab from my can of Pabst. Since I was a small child, I’ve been in the habit of pulling the tabs off my beer and dropping them in the can. This time I just happen to be careless and drank it up.
Luckily, I didn’t feel it going down at all. Miraculously, I didn’t feel it coming out. After I realized I swallowed the tab, I panicked. I thought it would dissolve in my stomach and poison me. I called my doctor AND poison control. Doc reassured me that I wasn’t going to die from poisoning, then he had a good laugh over my impending bowel movement. Poison control just laughed. I’m pretty sure the operator put his hand over the phone’s mouthpiece so he could tell his co-workers that there’s an idiot on line 3.
