Thinking about our trip to the trade show Tuesday. Samples of products abound as do deals if you purchase them. We sell a product called Damn Good Jerky so we stopped by their booth. After placing an order, we sampled some of the free product. I decided to hazard a bite of one of their hottest jerkys. Oooops, too hot!!! I inhaled to cool my mouth, only to suck the jerky into my windpipe. Yikes, I've caught stuff in that spot before but never have been in the position where I couldn't EXHALE. I grabbed the wife and walked off to the side of the main floor. The pinch, I inadvertently put on her arm, didn't make her happy but with the realization she might finally save a life with the Heimlich maneuver, all was forgotten. The simple fact of bending forward however seemed to open my airway and I had to insist the Heimlich was not necessary. She did get one compression in, so we may forever haggle the point of my current living and breathing status. Oh by the way, the name of the jerky......."Death by Jerky".
