That's right, Doctor Henry Heimlich turned 89 years old today. The man who originated the anti-choking procedure known as the "Heimlich maneuver"
Yes.. to you, it's known as the "Heimlich maneuver" probably since he reported it in medical journals around the globe. But, he wasn't the first to perfect this procedure. You see, it started a long time ago.
A woman was in a restaurant eating chicken wings when one lodged in her throat. She was gasping for air but no one could help. The entire restaurant became silent as all the patrons looked on while this woman began to fade away from the lack of oxygen. It was then two gay hospital interns decided to try a new procedure. One man jumped on the table, pulled his pants down and bent over. The other man started slurping his backside... amazingly, the woman looked over to see this event. She was so mortified by their actions that she cringed very tightly. This caused her stomach muscles to press on her diaphragm that squeezed the air in her lungs thereby popping the stuck chicken bone out of her throat and onto the table to which she was seated.
The patrons of the restaurant begin cheering... the 2 gay men had saved her life!
They decided to call it "The Hiney-Lick Maneuver" and went back to the hospital to tell the Doctor on staff. Unfortunately for them, the doctor on staff that night was Dr. Henry Heimlich who documented a more physical approach by squeezing a person just below the diaphragm. Since this was a more reliable method (then 2 gay men slurping butts) his method was accepted by the Board of Physicians and he went on to a life of success!
... and that's my blog for today.

Please note, not all of the above may be 100% correct.
I think the woman was choking on a piece of fillet mignon and the restaurant was a famous steakhouse. So, they asked the interns to say it was 'chicken' making it sound like the woman couldn't afford their 'most tender fillets in town'
You know... a marketing thing since they advertised the most tender fillets and didn't want bad publicity.

SO,,,, a man and his young were sitting at lunch counter. The man reading the paper and finishing his coffee while his son, who had long since finished his meal, was tossing a quarter from the tip into the air, and catching it in his mouth. As fate degrees,,,, the quarter became lodged in the boys throat.
The man tried hitting the boy on the back, no luck. An EMT at the next table jumped up, and started the Heimlich manuver. No luck. Just as the boy was turning blue,,, and getting ready to pass out, a savoir appeared.
A lady in a blue suit, and a tight bun hair doo, put down her copy of the Journal, and walked right over to the boy. She reached down and grapped his privates, and twisted them in the clockwise fashion. The boy's eyes rolled back in his head, and he shook with pain,,,, just before the quarter burst out his throat propelled the force of his painful scream. The woman snatched the quarter out of the air, and handed it to the waitress. She then walked over and sat back down to finish the Journal.
Once the man made sure his son was OK, he walked over to thank the lady. "Mam, that was very unconventional, but I'm grateful you came along."
"Dont' mention it.", replied the lady, "I do that every day. I'm a divorce attorney."
