Close call this morning

[Cajunrider]

On my way to work this morning at 5 am, I stopped at a local convenience store/deli that cooks great combination egg/bacon biscuits. I grabbed one and a 16 oz plastic bottle of milk and sat in the deli to enjoy my breakfast. I took a small bite of the biscuit before opening my bottle of milk and had a piece of bacon, I suppose, get hung up in my throat just behind my tounge. I couldn't cough or speak. I tried unscrewing the cap off of the plastic bottle of milk and squeezed it so hard that milk broke through the cap seal and ran down the bottle. It then started slipping in my hand and I couldn't open that bottle "to save my life". There were a couple of people in the deli that never recognized that I was choking. With just enough presence of mind and strength left, I grabbed a couple of napkins, while not being able to breathe and opened the bottle. I took a swig and dislodged the bacon or piece of biscuit and then began coughing like a dog with a squirrell tail caught in his throat. Then the others noticed I was choking and came to my aid. One commented that I was turning blue. After a few minutes of eating my biscuit and drinking my milk, I was on my way to work. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
