Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
...but I'm ten pounds richer, bitches.
Serb Ratko Dankovic, 23, had been drinking Rakia with mates while watching a magician perform a sword swallowing trick on the television. They then started arguing over how the trick was done, and when Dankovic told mates that sword swallowing was easy and anyone could do it - they challenged him to prove it.
But he had to be rushed to the local hospital after swallowing a knife with an eight inch blade, eight nails, two spoons and a couple of clothes pegs to win the ten pound bet. [...]
Dankovic who is still being kept in hospital, said: "I don't remember a thing until I woke up here in hospital with a sore throat and 30 stitches on a cut on my abdomen."
Just how drunk would you have to be?
TrackBackI'm unwell.
And no, I'm not the bass player from The Band.
Posted by: Ratko Dankovic at August 4, 2006 08:20 AMWhen I get really really really drunk, I sometimes slap myself repeatedly on the forehead and encourage others to do the same. I know, teh suxxor, but it beats swallowing lots of sharp objects.

Good thing, that. If you were he, you'd be beyond unwell. You'd be dead.

You've gotta hope this is the inscription on his headstone:

The Jews are responsible for all the hospitalizations in the world. Anyhow, matzoh swallowing is easy. Anybody can do it.

Posted by: PutzheadTom at August 6, 2006 10:39 PMHow drunk would I need to be to start drinking rakia? Sword-swallowing drunk, I think.
