In the market with his dad, a
little boy was flipping a quarter into the air and then catching
it with his teeth. Someone bumped the little boy at the wrong
moment and the quarter came down and lodged into the boy's throat.
The boy starts to choke and his father starts hollering for help.
A middle aged man hears the commotion, casually puts his cart to
the side, straightens his coat and tie, and makes his way to the
boy and his father. "Excuse me, sir," the man tells the
father. The man reaches down to the still standing (but still
choking) boy, carefully takes hold of the kid, and squeezes gently
but firmly. After a few seconds, the boy convulses violently and
coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand. The
man releases the boy and walks back over to his cart. After
making sure his son is ok, the father walks over to the man and
thanks him profusely for saving his son's life. "I've never
seen anyone do that -- that's amazing! Are you a surgeon?"
"Oh good heavens, no," replied the slightly embarrassed
man. "I work for the IRS." |
