“I was sucking on a giant jawbreaker at a scary scene in a movie, and I inhaled in shock. The jawbreaker lodged in my throat. Dark theater, no one saw me, nothing to hear from me since it was totally lodged in my throat.”
“I thought to throw my stomach on the chairback in front of me. Over and over again in a quiet, wide-eyed panic. A few of those strong WHOMPS and the jawbreaker popped out of my mouth and went clink clink on the bare floor downhill to the front of the theater.
At that point, everyone was doing the embarrassed laughter after the scary scene, and I sat back down, convinced I would have died had I not known a little something about the Heimlich maneuver. None of my friends even knew what had happened.”

“I was 5 and my brother told me he was getting telepathic signals from God, and God said I could fly. So I strapped on my roller skates, dressed in my Care Bears nightgown, tied a blanket around my neck, and found the steepest hill I could find. As soon as I took off, I started flapping my arms like a bird! Needless to say, I didn’t fly. I picked up a lot of speed though, and went crashing down on the pavement, almost tearing half my body off. I still have scars.”
