No doubt I'll think of more "interesting facts" later, but, in the meantime, I leave you with one question, which has always intrigued me ..........................

In some news reports of deaths, it is often stated that the cause of death was that the person "choked on their own vomit".
My question is ......................... who elses would it be?? !!!

The thought of it being someone elses raises a mental picture I'd rather not have !!! LoL.
