Hungry For Shiny Cutlery But Not The Knives

Woman swallows 78 items of cutlery.  Telegraph.

A 52-year old Holland woman required surgery to extricate the cutlery she chowed down on.  Lots of shiny spoons and forks.  But no knives. 

Good thing a stomach ache got her into the hospital before she started pithing those utensils out the other end.

    I’ll bet she won’t get too many invites to dinner now. Very weird.

    Medication has been known to help.

    She may just be able to get her proper nutrients now.

    See, you have to start with baby spoons. Easy in, easy out.

    The key to forks is to swallow the handle first.

    Once you get really good, you can move on to ladles, swords, and eventually snow shovels.

    Snow shovels, eh?

    That would make for an interesting x-ray.
