Last Saturday, i nicked out and bought some take-away for lunch.
The ol girl wanted a burger with the works and i got fish and chips.
So, back home and we start mowing through our lunch. I'm eating at a fairly solid rate, but ol girls into it like a pig in a slop bucket, until.....
About a 1/4 of the way through her burger, she started choking with a hunk of food stuck in her throat.
She's trying to bring back up the bit thats stuck and i yelled, don't do it on top of a perfectly good burger.
By now, i've started to realise, she's really choking and i have to admit, i didn't know what to do.
You see, she's worth $500,000 dead and this would be perfect, as i wouldn't have to fake anything.
I was torn, i thought, hmmmm, go outside and mow for 30 minutes, come back in and go....OH MY GOSH, SHE'S DEAD.
Now, the big drawback with this, would be if she had managed to clear the food on her own.
It's not going to go to good for me i'm thinking, but $500,000 is $500,000, no matter how you look at it.
The other option, was to help her, so with its head shoved over the sink (By now, the red face was starting to turn blue), i whacked her a few times on the back, before doing a version of the Hind-lick manouver (Can't spel for krap) and we dislodged a dirty big hunk of bacon, burger meat and big long bit of soft rind.
After a few glasses of water and her saying what a top bloke i was for saving her, she still managed to finish her burger.
Now, later that day, i did score a root to top off the day, me being the hero and all that.
But a week in now, i have to ask the question, have i shot myself in foot to the tune of $500,000?
I've cried myself to sleep each night ever since wondering what could've been.
Brand new kickarse 4WD.
Retire from work.
the list just goes on.......
