 So I am standing in the kitchen talking to my wife. There's a box of munchkins(donut holes) on the counter. Yeah I know! Not the best decision but I tossed one in my gullet and with out even thinking began to gulp water!  The next thing I know I woke up on the floor with my wife standing over me asking me if I'm OK. I guess I cut off my air way when I chugged the water and blacked out. Luckily I just have a bump on my fat head.  Please feel free to learn from my mistakes...that's why I'm here!

 Oh yeah!  difficulty breathing and the urge to throw up...just kept dry heaving, lasted about 5 minutes. My wife had to tell me what happened, scared the hell out of her. And yeah, lesson learned!

Geez... and to think that I thought the purpose of waiting 30 minutes to drink was to keep from washing the food out too soon so you stay full longer!

Glad you're okay!

 Yeah that's part of it but I think the donut was still in my esophagus when I gulped the water!  Serves me right!

Dang Man!  That sucks!  Glad you are okay though.  Ya know, they say we need to learn our own lesson.  This one though, I'm learning from you.
