BESTSELLER SNEAK PREVIEW: HOW I ALMOST SWALLOWED A THUMBTACK AND DIED BUT INSTEAD LIVED TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY! — by Steve Nadis

The title pretty much says it all. But I still want to explain that all of the above is true and more. I had an egg on toast for breakfast today and bit into something hard, that I almost swallowed, which happened to be a thumbtack. That would have done a number on my already delicate digestive tract.
#############################
But how did the thumbtack get there? And did I have a potential lawsuit on my hands against the purveyor of said eggs? After thinking it through, I decided there was only one plausible scenario. I had tried to get the eggs out of the carton but they stuck and the shells broke. So I poured them into the pan and stirred them up. In the process, a yellow thumbtack (coincidentally the color of eggs) fell into the pan unnoticed. How did the thumbtack get there? I realized that someone in my house had been making hardboiled eggs and thumbtacks are sometimes used to poke the egg before boiling. So a thumbtack must have accidentally fallen into the carton. And it eventually came out in the middle of my egg and toast, which I thankfully noticed before ingesting. Sorry if that’s “too much information,” but those are the facts of the case. I’ll have to save my lawsuit against Shaw’s for another day.

    Sometimes a thumbtack is just a thumbtack.
