Weird News of the Week

People are in love with their little electronic gadgets. This just in from Blue Springs, MO.

Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. Friday from a Blue Springs man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house they found the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat.

After fighting over the phone, she tried to swallow it. Whole.

Police said an ambulance transported the woman to St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs. A hospital spokeswoman said she couldn't give details about the woman's health since police have not released her identity.

But she did say the woman was extremely STUPID.

I might have been tempted to put it in an orifice, but it would not have been mine.
