    Okay, I work at a hospital.
    A patient came in today and needed emergency surgery because he had swallowed a spoon!

    I am not allowed to ask the patient, but just how DOES one swallow a spoon? Scoopy side first or the side you hold it with?????

    It just blows my mind! And I am told this guy does this once a week!
    Can you say Iron Deficience? Whoah!

    How does a person swallow a whole spoon???????

    With determination, I would think.

    I knew a guy who used to munch glass... a total fruit-cake!!

    Why aren't you allowed ask?

    So they don't have to tell you embarrassing stories?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,200 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    What you need to ask yourself is:

    Why would a person NOT swallow a whole spoon?

    I've made a career out of it!













    .. ** this thread dimished all hope i had that sometime.. someday... there would EVER be a useful thought-out thread in AH again! ** ..

    Ack, I don't know maybe they were attempting some sort of Jackass stunt and it went bad. I saw a something on (think it was A&E channel) where a girl swallowed a fork and it stayed in her throat. They were able to see it by just looking into her mouth, just below her tonsils it was. Apparently she was trying to make herself throw up. :(

    He was a prisoner in custody. I'm not allowed to chat with prisoners. I'm surprised the police let him sign the Consent Form. He's eaten pens before as well!

    Some people do stuff like that when they get depressed. It's some sort of mental disorder.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    I think the disorder is called Pika.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,669 ✭✭✭mukki


    you just have to realise that "there is no spoon"

    ha. i read "pens" as "penis", which i'm sure he has also eaten, being in prison and all.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,352 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Are you sure he swallowed it and it didn't enter his body by another orifice? :D

    Well if he was a prisoner maybe he just wanted to get out for a break?

    Or maybe he was just showing off his deep throat action and got confused and swallowed :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Julep, LOLZ! Well, he was a pretty big guy. They may let him stick to pens and spoons.

    Sex deprived prisoner enters A and E with a spoon lodged in the Gastro-intestinal Tract...hmmmm, Im not thinking the oral method here!

    The prong side first in yes, don't know how she ended up with it down her throat.:(

    Prisoners pull all sorts of stunts quite often, either to just get to chat to sexy nurses, or to get out of the prison for a little while. Sometimes the old "I'm sick" stunt is pulled before they manage to escape from the hospital.

    People do swallow all sorts of crazy things though. Saw a programme once with a guy who'd swallowed a compass (one with the spikes on both legs). He said he was messing with it in his mouth, and next thing it was gone. :eek:

    ... wait, that wasn't a documentary and wasn't a pen either!

    The answer lies on the dark side of the spoon.

    Hi Lust4Life! How's north of Chicago? Oh, how does a person swallow a spoon? They take lessons from people who swallow swords! Been to a circus? You guys still have Barnam and Bailey Three Ring Circus? Most big circus acts have sword swallowers...:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    it's the soap. therein lies the answer.

    you know how you're told never to drop the soap in prison? this is why.

    this guy is obviously very clumsy and regularly drops the soap in the shower, giving his fellow inmates the opportunity to shove a spoon up his arse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    In that case, god bless the guy who gets done on the day they run outta spoons :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Sounds like the guards need to allow the prisoners a bit more time to eat their meals when they're in such a rush to finish the meal they swallow the cutlery.:p

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭paul666


    maybe the guy is been bullied and they shove spoons down his throat each week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,905 ✭✭✭Aard


    Maybe he did it because he knew people would make jokes about "spooning" and "prison" and "taking it up the poop-shute". And then he would make this face: ¬_¬.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    Anyone remember that classic episode of Oz where Robson the Aryan had a spoon shoved up his arse by that Wolfgang Cutler guy? It was the funniest thing I've ever seen on tv. It happened at the end of the episode and the E4 continuity announcer was visibly shaken as she came on to tell us what was coming up next. Happy Days.

    it seems they did, they shoved a fork up someone elses arse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭groundedplane


    Speaking of spoons, years ago there was a party in my house and its was a great night. The lads which were at the party were always f*ucking with each other, you know, fall asleep and your covered in marker kind a thing. Anyway. This one guy was notorious for doing that kind of thing so the rest of the lads decided to get him good. They spiked his drink with a small sedative and within an hour he was knocked out in the corner fast asleep. What happened next will stay with me till I die.

    One of the lads turned him over, pulled down is jocks so his arse was sticking out, got a condom, opened it, spat in it, put it on a spoon handle side, put on some lube and shoved it up his arse. He removed the spoon leaving the condom up your mans arse.

    Well, I tell you we could not stop laughing at it. I could not believe the guy who did that. As he said “In the normal run of things I would never do such a thing, but this prick has got me too many times and payback a bitch”

    Anyhow next morning arrives and your man with the Johnny up his arse wakes up with about 12 dozen eyes fixed on him. He says “what the **** are you looking at” all the while realizing that his jocks are half way down his legs. He is like what the **** and said “I must of pissed in the corner or something, sorry Mick”. With that he stood up and pulled up his jocks and felt something at the back of his arse. Suddenly, the blood drained from his face/body, his life ended in that moment when he felt the rubber and pulled it out, especially with the spit inside of it making it realistic. The screams of him, we could not stop laughing at him. Trust me this ****er deserved it. Someone said to him. “Was it as good for you as it was for him?” His face went bright red at that stage. The lads left him hanging for a couple of weeks until the told him the truth. He was so relived and never played another prank on anyone again. It was a classic.

    Good old spoons.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Considering how homophobic the average male is it always strikes me as rather odd that one of the first things they seem to think of doing to another guy is sticking things up his arse.:confused:
    Just glad I'm careful who I drink with!

    Ah yes. Robson was one of the meanest bastards in the place before he became Cutlers wife, so nobody really cared :D

    Poor oul Robson never had the best luck. His wife left him, Beecher bit his nob off, he got thrown out of his precious Nazi gang after having African gums transplanted into him without his consent by a dentist (one of the funniest bits being O`Reilly and Poet taking the piss and Poet calling him brother and homeboy and all that :D ), he became Cutlers wife, began using heroin and in the end didnt he catch Aids?

    And i always thought Oz was brilliant despite a rather far fetched death toll, I go to rte.ie and some chap beatin to death in the joy last night. Iirc thats the second murder there this year, not to mention the Nigerian who was nearly killed only last week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Well, I talked to a friend of mine who used to work at the prison. He knew exactly which guy I was talking about.
    Says the prisoner does indeed swallow the spoon. And it is scoopy side first, but he bends the spoon in half first and gets it as flat as possible before swallowing it.

    So now we know!!!!!

    As to why they don't make him eat with his damn fingers and quit giving him cuttlery???? Well, goodness! That would infringe upon his inalienable rights! Inmates have more protected rights than the average US citizen. Some world I live in!!!!!!!

    another swallowing trick they use is to wrap an opened safety pin with cellotape (rendering it harmless) and swallowing it. when they are taken to hospital and x-rayed the safety pin shows up but the tape doesn't!! One operation later = A week or two out of the 'joy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Friend of mine had an inmate swallow the cap to toothpaste and a toothbrush once. He took the X-ray to the Prison Dentist and said "Hey, this looks like a dental issue, not a medical issue." :p

    At least these nutjobs are behind walls and not walking among us!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 magnum69


    perhaps he's trying to make a profession out of it! :D it's good he doesn't have a surgery every week...or does he? :eek:

    Spoons are nothing:

    His major achievement to date: a Cessna 150 light aircraft. He started munching it in June 1978, and at a rate of a few snacks a day, finished it in 1980.

    ...In 1981 he was attacked and stabbed, receiving severe life threatening internal injuries. He underwent major surgery and recovered surprisingly quickly. Three weeks later he ate a robot.

    This is the funniest thread I've read for ages. Tears streaming down my eyes....

    A friend of mine worked in ER in Galway. She often told stories of young lads coming in with all manner of items inserted up the backside. HP bottles etc etc..
