A young married couple walk into a coffee shop. The man is spinning a quarter in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the door, someone bumps into him at just the wrong moment, and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.
He immediately starts choking, going blue in the face, and his wife starts panicking, shouting for help.
A well-dressed, middle-aged, moderately attractive but serious looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at the counter, reading her newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds her newspaper and places it on the counter. Then she gets up from her seat and makes her unhurried way to the choking man.
Reaching the man, she carefully takes hold of his testicles and squeezes gently at first, and then ever more firmly and forcefully into an excruciating vice grip.
After a few seconds, he convulses violently and coughs up the quarter, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing her firm grip, the woman hands the coin to the wife and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as she is sure that her husband has suffered no lasting ill-effects, she rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her effusively, saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before -- it was fantastic! Are you a doctor?"
"Good heavens, no" the woman replies. "I'm a divorce attorney." |
