Never Eat a Live Octopus
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A 62-year-old Korean man liked eating live octopi. He figured smothering them in vinegar and hot pepper sauce would take the fight out of them and he could slide them down his throat.
Unfortunately for the man, one octopi was a particularly feisty bugger and since the octopi couldn't get back out past the man's teeth, he dove down the man's throat and spread out.
The man's wife tried to help him out, "I slapped him on the back, but it didn't work."
Paramedics arrived and were able to pull the octopus out. The octopus lived, the man didn't. The moral of this story: "Always eat your calamari deep fried."
