Fish & Chips

[IceBoy]

I just had the above lunch at a very nice pub local to where I work.

I did have to pull out a couple of fish bones (if thats what you call them) very small thin ones.

The thing is, I feel like I have one stuck in my throat !!!

very uncomfortable.

What shall I do....HELP ?!

eat dry bread

BTW - fish on a monday? if the bread doesn't clear the bone you'll be puking up from eating old fish so don't worry too much

A real man would fashion his own tool to solve this problem, not use anything as pedestrian as a fork.

Skewer a ping pong ball on the end of a knitting needle. Cover the ping pong ball in superglue. Slowly push it down your throat and wiggle it about until the fish bone is stuck to the ball. Withdraw the implement and congratulate yourself on a job well done. Have a beer to soothe your throat.

I would question a man who is able to swallow a ping pong ball on a knitting needle without inducing a gag reflex

anything you want to tell us?

Fish bones can easily graze the throat on the way down - giving the impression that something is stuck there. It could well be that there isn't a problem!

DON'T go to Tesco!

Google mediasinitis to make you feel better.

I'm wondering how the mods have missed such a blindingly obvious target for so long...

[sleep envy]

health or food and drink?

tough call, I bet they're having a discussion in the mod's forum

[Neil_H]

Drink some hydrochloric acid, it should dissolve the bone.

Swallow a No 5 Mk 1 Grenade should do the Trick

They can't decide whether its 'Food' or 'Health'

[mat13]

a real man would have fashioned some sort of light on a stick to investigate further

[IceBoy]

Bread has done it !

Thanks for all the other useless methods !! LOL !!
