8. Choking To Death On A Ball Point Pen
If you're one of the millions out there with an oral fixation, you'll know all too well the weird feeling of comfort and satisfaction that goes along with putting whatever is currently in your hand into your mouth. But as you're munching on the lid of that disposable ballpoint pen later on today, think on and be wary: according the TheFreemanInstitute, over 100 people die each year from choking to death doing that very same thing. Don't you remember when your Mum used to say "take that out of your mouth, you'll choke!" Turns out she was totally on to something. You may have escaped your ancestral home by now and you might not necessarily have people looking out for you like you used to, leaving your oral fixation free to run rampant unchecked. But as you chew and chomp your way to a potential early grave just remember; statistics don't lie. Just because you
can put it in your mouth, doesn't necessarily mean you should.
