What to Do When Choking in the Shower

I was alone in my apartment this morning. While singing in the shower, I choked on my own saliva. After successfully coughing through the episode, I wondered—

Q: What exactly I would had done, had I needed to perform the Heimlich on myself.


A: I would probably rush to the kitchen where I would use the counter-top or the sofa arm in the other room. If that failed, I mused on how interesting it would be for my roommate, Reed, and his girlfriend, Natalie, to enter the apartment and find my naked, wet body unconscious on the floor of the front room. Then, I ever-so-briefly considered the hilarious prank of playing possum. I immediately forced the thought out of my head when I realized that this possible future would inevitably end with Reed's lips around my own.

Sorry. TMI [Too Much Information].

  2. If you could cough, you weren't "choking." I think you're safe for now.

  4. I choked on my own spit just the other day. Not fun. Especially when it leads to tears at the office.
