<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1522.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-901 aligncenter" title="100_1522" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1522-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>when I was 17 I swallowed a toothpick</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1523.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-895 aligncenter" title="100_1523" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1523-500x324.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>A Friend had made me laugh and I sucked it down. Right into my stomach</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1524.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-902 aligncenter" title="100_1524" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1524-500x666.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="666" /></a></p>
<p>The toothpick caused a lot of pain but the emergency room didn&#8217;t know what to do they gave me some antibiotics and some pain medication and said &#8221; Hopefully you pass it&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1526.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-903 aligncenter" title="100_1526" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1526-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>for 3 month the toothpick maneuvered its way through my system working hard at making it through all the twists and turns. How ever it path would become impassible</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1528.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-904 aligncenter" title="100_1528" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1528-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>However the toothpick became jammed and then pierced its way through my intestine masking and feeling much like an appendicitis. The surgeon went in for my appendix and instead came out with a toothpick.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1533.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-905 aligncenter" title="100_1533" src="http://www.chrisrbecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/100_1533-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Moral: Don&#8217;t use toothpick its not worth the pain and aggravation. But it does make for a pretty cool scar</p>
