Death by EYE DROPS

I am participating in the Blogging from A-Z Challenge again this year. What is this mysterious blogging challenge you ask? Arlee Bird from Tossing it Out came up with this fantastic idea where bloggers post using consecutive letters of the alphabet for 26 days in April. It grew in numbers, and Arlee now has many helpers. To view other participates of the A-Z event click here.

Odd deaths happen, right? It’s sort of like being at the right place at the right wrong time. My A-Z 2016 blogging journey takes us down the road of Death by Oddity. Come join me.

E = Death by EYE DROPS

Well, actually the cap of the eye drop bottle, but close enough. In 1983 Playwright Tennessee Williams was supposedly under the influence when he held the cap of his eye drop bottle between his teeth (something he did often) while administering eye drops to his eyes. It is believed he choked on the cap that day and died.  Source

I did something similar at the age of eighteen, but sober and with a plug at the end of a pen. I didn’t die. You figured that out? Oh!

Ever done something like this and lived to tell about it? Do you find yourself mindlessly putting objects or straight pins in your mouth as you sew? (Yes that last one might be me.)
