Wednesday was a fateful day for Michael. He was shooting the breeze with a group of friends, watching his friend clean out his fish tank, when the friend complained that one speciman had become a fishy menace. It had outgrown the tank, and was eating other denizens of the equatic community.
Michael volunteered to assist. He seized the five-inch fish and attempted to swallow it. Unfortunately, the fish continued it's predatory ways by sticking in his craw. As he gasped futilely for breath. turned blue, and sank to his knees, his three friends realized that somethjing was amiss. They phoned 911 and informed the dispatcher that Michael had eaten some fish, and was having trouble breathing.
Paramedics were quickly dispatched, and they arrived to find the fish tail still protruding from the victim's mouth. Despite their best efforts, neither the fish nor the twenty-three-year-old could be resuscitated.
Alas, more cleansing of the gene pool.

Another reason sword swallowing doesn't pay
A sword-swallower died after he put an umbrella down his throat-accidently pushed the button that opened it.

Oh those weird superstitions...don't mention Macbeth, don't step on cracks, don't open umbrellas while they are lodged down oesophagus.

Well I don't think I'll ever have to worry about that...I think.
