Woman Swallows Cell Phone After Argument
2005-12-24
There's all sorts of snarky comments I could make, but man-o-man would I get into trouble with the other mods.
(AP) It was a conversation stopper. A lovers' dispute over a cell phone took a serious turn early Friday morning when the woman ended the spat by swallowing the phone whole.
That's the way it starts. First it's cell phones, then they move up to Princess phones, then it's an occasional toaster, a microwave or two, and then before you know it they're swallowing some major hardware...
... I have yet to see in our ER a woman who's swallowed a toaster ...
Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. from a man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house they found the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat. "He wanted the phone and she wouldn't give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it," Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. "She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn't get it." Police said an ambulance transported the woman to St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs. A hospital spokeswoman said she couldn't give details about the woman's health since police have not released her identity.
"Why'n'tcha call her and ask?"
"What'd she say?"
"I dunno, something like 'mmm-mm-mmmmmm-m-mmmm-mmm!'"
Decker said police had closed investigations on the swallowing, the first such incident of its kind here. "This is the first I've heard of this happening," said Decker. "I don't know what kind of phone it was. I don't know if it was on ring or vibrate, either."
Nope, nope, not gonna do it, nope ...

#7  lol lol Steve, funny commentary.
Jackel, good to see you're home with your mom. Hope everyone else here enjoys being together with family. If you're not able to be home, know that many are thinking of you. My kids are all home too, even my military guy even surprised me coming home. :)
Gotta get back to my sauteing onions

#6  I can see the attraction the guy had, however. A woman who can swallow a cell phone, whoa, that's uh, um, er, a whole 'nuther kind of "throat" job.

#4  If she didn't hit "End" first, she's going to get reamed on her next bill.
