I know some you older folk on here remember the cheesy Health Ed movies shown to us in 6th and 7th grade about anything from sex, drugs, and choking and how to heimlich yourself. They were awful and the actors were shit so why would we take it seriously. Don’t know why, but the choking one popped into my head and made me laugh. The scene was a family on a picnic in the country and no one else around. The mom wearing a dress (of course) is making a roast beef sandwich for the dad while the poor children starve and dad was a loud obnoxious pussle gutted asshole with man boobs and maybe a Boston accent. He just kept saying more roast beef, more c’mon I ain’t no girl more and some mustard and Mayo c’mon! So finally he shut up and everyone was eating sandwiches and then dad grabs his throat and turns blue and down he goes. The movie pauses and took us step by step showing the Heimlich maneuver. First access the air and clear it - the son jumps into action and digs 5 lbs. of yuck out of dads mouth and Heimlich’s his ass and begins CPR with mouth to mouth. Of course the class roar with EEEEWWWW! and even a few jeers of INCEST! NO TONGUE NO TONGUE! Anyway he saves dads life and all is right and white and puppies and kittens afterwards. The teacher asked what our thoughts were about what we’d just seen. Nobody answered. I offered an opinion “well if that gluttonness fat fucker would’ve had a salad and some fruit this probably wouldn’t have happened”! A friend of mine across the room yelled “he’d just die right there on that picnic blanket cause I ain’t putting my mouth on nobody with half chewed shit hanging out his mouth..... sorry but you dead asshole! The teacher wasn’t amused. So my friend and I ended up in school suspension . Don’t know why my brain decided that’s a memory worth remembering.
