Do you think it's possible to die from...

...swallowing a cherry pit whole?

So a girlfriend sent me a gag (no pun intended) email about how to "eat sexy"--you know, how to "seduce with food." It was supposed to be funny.

On a lark, I attempted one of the suggestions. Just in the quiet privacy of my own vacant kitchen. I tried to eat the cherry in the most seductive way possible, as set forth in the email.

Somehow, I managed to swallow the entire pit, gag, and literally keeled over on the floor in a coughing heap.

And now I'll probably die of a perforated stomach or obstructed bowel or something.

Or maybe just of embarrassment.

I wonder if this ever happened during the filming of "9-1/2 Weeks"...

No but that one had me dying laughing!

I think you'll live. Most likely you'll pass the pit. (After the black cherry/white sofa episode, Moxie passed a couple cherry pits. Guess she swallowed a couple. She lived.) Definitely not sexy though.

Aren't they small?

Maybe you'll grow a cherry tree in your tummy. Ok, you didn't need to hear that!

What I really want to know is, what was the content of this email?

Oh, it was just this silly email with a bunch of "tips" on be seductive eating food. Although the ice cream cone recommendation would get you thrown out of any family-friendly Baskin Robins. I don't think I could do it, anyway. I'd probably end up flicking mint-chocolate-chip right up my nose and getting brain freeze (similiar to my cherry pit-swallowing accident).

And they had a recommendation for opening beer that was just pornographic. My husband would think I'd lost my mind...or the bottle opener.

Ha ha - I give you props for attempting the suggestions... I'm so uncoordinated and ungraceful that trying "sexy tips" just aren't a good idea for me!

I swallowed a quarter in college playing speed quarters (hi, binge drinking). It passed just fine. I've had my abdomen MRI-ed and Xrayed since then (unrelated ob/gyn issues) and they always say they can't see any damage or anything.

Oh Abigail - as always you crack me up.

[bokelley]

Too funny, sounds like something I would do!!

You've got the pole, you don't need to add sexy eating

[ladymoreta]

That's too cute! You know, funny is the new sexy...

If only KLUTZY was the new sexy...I'd be Sophia Loren! In an A-cup.

Me too - only my cup currently spilith over thanks to the babe.

Too funny. I loved "91/2 Weeks"!

Too funny. I'm intrigued by tips to "seduce with food." Though just shopping for it, cooking it and putting it on the table at dinner time requires effort enough...
