Ooops I just ate.......

[Nelli]

I just realised how dangerous eating, whilst simulteaneously reading Answerbank posts is. I was eating an apple, when I noticed that I had eaten half a 'New Zealand Royal Gala' label. What harm will this do me, and how can I stop any further accidents happening in the future.

Moi mum told me once that if Jacob swallowed an apple pip, Jacob would get an apple tree growing inside his stomach! Moind you, she were roit. Roit big'un it is too. Makes it very 'ard to get moi pants on in the morning.

worse still if you find half a grub in your apple :-]

To avoid this happening in the future; keep your thumb on the label at all times, while eating the apple :-)

you really should go for a fuji - the labels are bigger and more likely to stick in yer teeth rather than slipping down for digestion. My problem while reading AB posts is that half a box of maltesers disappears unawares!!

My deaf/blind friend took out her hearing aid while eating cashew nuts, yep she ate it. Hope this makes you feel better.

[Jacob]

Does that mean she stuffed the cashew nuts down 'er ear?

[Janetex]

i didn't think to ask her - i'll find out and let you know
