A Physician's Analysis

   Paralysis of the esophagus
     when occasioned by asparagus
 
   Can be frighteningly perilous
     and even worse, embarrass us

I have no allergy to asparagus. I fear bad reactions, but so far, so good.

Great G,, choking on food can be hazardous, I was choking on breakfast once in San Francisco and the policeman was there and did the Heimlich remover man around me. I was scared to death no one the restaurant seems to understand that I was joking, but all of a sudden these arms on my back. I think he saved my life and I gave him a good report at the SF police.. pangie

We don't give the police enough credit for what they do!

You know, John. I am really worried. Asparagus no longer makes my pee smell. Does that mean it's gotten to my nose?! lol.
