Well I for one am thoroughly puzzled. I re-read the Rotter’s post in which he says “I made this story up to impress a chatroom desperado like you”.
I am known to dabble in the black art of sarcasm from time to time, and I must say I found it a bit difficult to see this as sarcasm. I suspect that the Rotter didn’t think that his thread would get the attention or responses that it eventually did get.
That said, there is actually an underlying serious point here – even if the Rotter chose an odd way to bring it to people’s attention.
It really is a good idea if everybody has SOME knowledge of the correct action to take when confronnted with a person who is choking. The plain fact is that if you keep your head and apply the correct technique, you can save a life …. rather than panic and stand helplessly by as they suffocate to death.
Just to make it clear
i made the whole thing up
for the ensuing Kudos
