"Milk Duds"

    

  Have you ever almost choked to death on a Milk Dud? 

Never give a milk dud to a child or an old person.

And if you want to take the chance and live dangerously.

Just make sure your tongue is limber enough to control,

that slippery little caramel devil. 

  I don't want to read your obituary. Killed by a Milk Dud. How embarrassing that would be.

  By the way, I'm eating a milk dud right now.

But I've already written my obituary.

It will simply read, He chose to live dangerously!

Randall,
Funny how we all have the same delusions of grandeur. That our death, by meaningless means, might be important to someone. By the way, I just read that Mama Cass did not choke to death on a ham sandwich, but by an ordinary, mundane heart attack.

Thanks, Vol. You are right, we often think of our demise in a grand way.
We lost a wonderful singer in Mama Cass. I believe we must have read the same newspaper article. I think the choking rumor started because they found a ham sandwich beside her. But that's just a rumor, also.

Kinda reads like a rebeliion against something.......fair play to you fella.....!

Life is for the living, as they say.....just don't choke .....!

A quick, funny jab. Milk Duds as mortal danger is such a perfect bit of mischief. The ending lands with a grin.

[Randall]

Curly Grace, I'm glad you recognize the mortal danger of Milk Duds. Just remember, the little chocolate-covered caramels came from the Devils confectionary shop.

Laughing here...not at the situation, but at the textual delivery...

[Randall]

Thank you, Chris. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.

I applaud your originality although I had trouble enjoying it as I almost died once from food lodged at the top of my windpipe.

[Randall]

Michael, glad you like the originality. Sorry about the enjoyment part. But I'm happy you are still with us, my friend!
