So...I swallowed a penny.

Yes its true. I swallowed a penny. Lets go through the events:

I was at a pub celebrating a friends birthday. Well suddenly a game started called "Save the Queen" where a penny is put in your drink and you need to take the drink in one. The penny usually stays at the bottom of the galss...but just my luck this penny decides to go into my mouth just as I start. In the next hour I experienced vomiting, calming down a friend after his psycho ex stole his phone, goingto the police station, collapsing in pain, being driven to the nearest hospital (which was shut!) So going to the next hospital which is 20 mins away...got there in 5 and being told "Let nature take its course."

So right now I have a penny travelling through my body. Anyway what is the strangest or silliest thing you have ever ingested either on purpse or accidentally?

So their advice was to.. well.. spend a penny? Makes sense.

Broad beans. Without question. As a child, I never ate these by choice.

Sand and bugs, I guess. Both not on purpose.

And there was this one time I drank ink water on a bet.

Heh, the trick is never to be in these situations. I've managed not to swallow anything stupid, although I can have pills without needing a glass of water to wash it down... but that isn't exactly unique.

Nah... I ain't that stupid.

Besides, it was only one glass of colored water. ;)

I used to mix alcohols a lot. Beer, vodka, rhum, anything that happened to be lying around... all together in one glass. (I emphasise used to.)

When I was a kid, I'd mix even fouler stuff... such as mixing shampoo with mint-flavoured mouth wash and a few drops of 90° alcohol and then drinking it. Strangely enough, it never made me sick.

Update: So I've now taken some laxative. That should help

Ahh! Boggin!!

Bong water is the most disgusting substance known to humanity. I’ve not had the bad fortune of tasting any, but I’ve got it on my hands far too many times; shoddy bongs with low hit-holes suck.

Yes its true. I swallowed a penny.Better be careful with that. Don't you know the old proverb "If shit was wealth, poor people would be born without assholes"?

So now you just have to swallow 9 more pennies, and you can spit out a dime instead....

I swallowed a penny once. I was trying to catch things in my mouth one night, and a friend of mine threw a penny. It went in my mouth and automatically slid down my throat. Nothing happened, I just assume it came out within the next few days.

*a lesson in why people should not drink, especially by being stupid enough to put a penny in their drink*

Hah-hah!

Okay, seriously, I hope you'll be okay after all this, though it is really your own fault and no one else's. Just be sure you learn from this lesson rather than let it go to waste.

More to the point, don't put foreign objects in your beer.
Beer good. Unintentional swallowing of metal bad.

Oh well it'll pass through me in the next couple days according to professional
medical advice. Me and the nurse even joked about it.

Good man.

Oh, and don't consume any laxatives either...that's a very bad idea for something like this.

Don't worry it didn't work. It was weak stuff.
