This makes me giggle. Impulse... yes, I'm sure that was the reasoning.

This one made me laugh the hardest as well. Talk about "impulse".

The thought of her putting those back in her mouth... Ewww!

My favorite, was the metal Scottie dog from a Monopoly game.
A small child swallowed it, and there it was in the AP throat film, just laying there!! Perfect side view!!!

Also, I attached (I hope) a photo I found online years ago of a bottle where it should not be. What I found interesting was that this person had a hip replacement. Old enough to know better??!!

I would not call it funny or strange, but I got to see a x-ray in E.R. of a guy's abdomen full of Buck Shot close range. Another was not an x-ray but a scope, of a grade schooler that swallowed a pencil.
