Man Swallows Scissors

How does a grown man accidentally swallow a pair of scissors?

Lin Kong had borrowed a four-inch-long pair of nail scissors to use instead of a toothpick to clean his teeth after a meal.

But as one of his friends told a joke, the 27-year-old laughed and swallowed the clippers.

As he tried to cough up the scissors, the points, which were facing upwards, dug deeper into his throat, causing serious damage.

Surgeons in Putian, China used local anaesthetic and surgically removed the scissors. Link -via Unique Daily
