This story has all the makings of a wonderful ad campaign for the pen manufacturer. A woman accidentally swallowed a pen. Her husband and doctor thought that she was making the whole thing up, so nothing was done about it. Twenty-five years later, a surgeon removed it from her and found the pen in full working order.

she was apparently "examining her tonsils" when the felt tip pen slipped and she swallowed it.
I don't care if or how this woman did it. I want to know why a grown woman thought it was a good idea to swallow a pen?
Did the little voice in her head tell her to do it? Maybe it was a bar bet?
