Pretty bizarre story, but as far as just the head goes, I liked the one about the tits better.

When I first read that headline, I thought it said "Obama man" instead of "Omaha man."

I'm wondering if the second self trac is scarier than the first or does it just become old hat.

If the ambulance didn't get to me in time, I'd be dead.

If that guy could zip upstairs to get a knife, I suspect he could have waited.

Actually, a trach isn't that hard to do. It's getting the courage to make that cut that's the tough part.

Well, I admits I didn't read the article, but by any chance was the need for a tracheotomy do to, say, an infected tongue piercing? Compared to some things people do to themselves, a trach sounds pretty tame, I'd certainly do a self-tracheotomy before a Prince Albert OW, OW, OW, Don't look! NSFW!!!

Boring. It only becomes interesting if he goes for the hat trick.
