You Go! Go NOW!


I ate dinner last night at an all-you-can-eat chinese buffet.

A rather large woman two tables away began choking. Her dinner companions started smacking her on the back, and she was gesticulating wildly because she couldn’t breathe. She knocked a plate on the floor.

I got up to play Heimlich Man, but before I could reach her table she made a massive retching noise and dislodged whatever was stuck in her throat….and promptly yakked up everything else she’d eaten as well.

The ancient Chinese crone manning the cash register ran over and quickly assessed the situation. She turned to the woman and said “You GO! Go NOW! GO!”

I love people.
