Fork you

UR DOING IT WRONG!

Or: ‘How do you think you use it? By shoving it up your nose?’ is not what you want to say to a kid who takes things literally.

Or: I hate this forkin’ place.

(Warning: Image may upset some people.)

Is this a Snopes about the picture of the kid with the fork jammed through his nose? What’s the skinny on that, my company’s firewall has Snopes blocked out (and yes, the mentality that would block Snopes but allow CNN is deeply disturbing. I shall be contacting a headhunter on Monday)

Yes. On 11 July they were at a Chinese restaurant. The kid was climbing into the booth with the fork in his hand and fell on it.

It’s real. Happened July 11th in Minneapolis at a chinese buffet restaurant. He was climbing into the booth and fell while holding his fork in his hand. When the waiter picked him up from under the table the fork was through his nose. There was only a little blood because the fork tines missed all of the cartilage in his nose (Thank God). The one picture is from the ER and the other picture is two days later at home. The ER doctor and ENT doctor we saw the following day said that they had never seen this before and that we were pretty lucky that the fork went up and out through his nose. We saved the fork and this picture for him to see when he gets older. We emailed the pics to our family, coworkers and friends and now they are all over the internet. Live and learn I guess.

Actually it happened at a drive through.

Wow. Well, at that age, I don’t expect him to know that you’re supposed to use a spoon for coke.

It took me about five full seconds to get that.

Bravo!

Which is why it is important, even at young ages, to teach children to eat Chinese with chop sticks rather than with a fork. The blunt tips are not nearly as likely to inflict puncture wounds.

Unless you trip and the chopstick goes up your nose and INTO YOUR BRAIN!! :eek:

Well, yeah, but if one goes into each nostril, hey, you got stereo!

Kind of reminds me of another timely happening and successful surgery.
