What would happen if I swallowed a thumbtack? |
|
Not that I'm going to, mind you. But I absentmindedly stuck one betwixt my teeth the other day as I was pinning some fliers to the wall, and then realizing--HOLY SHIT! What am I doing?! If I accidentally swallowed this thing, I could DIE!!
Or would I?

2. Well, you'd get all choked up and later be torn by separating from the tack... |
|
But envy the tack; it has an interesting journey... even if it is a shitty one...

3. Or you could shit tacks |
|
I have heard that phrase many times throughout my life. There must be something behind it (or it could just be something coming out of a behind).

4. Perforated esophagus, stomach or perhaps intestines . . . |
|
at any rate, it wouldn't be pretty.

6. You'd have a very painful shit in about 24 hours. |
|
I would NOT want to be you.

7. Cramps, discomfort, perhaps a painful BM...followed by a slow horrible death... |
|
...as the tiny ruptures and lacerations it caused to your digestive tract led to massive & systemic internal infections.
The stuff that lives in the bottom of your gut is SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS if it gets out of your gut and into your bloodstream. A thumbtack could open a thousand microscopic doors for it to walk through.

8. If you do swallow one, you should then play "drink from under the sink"... |
|
Since it would achieve the same result.
