I just heard a news story about a man who kissed the Dover Sole he had just caught and it jumped down his throat and chocked him into a cardiac arrest. Thankfully he is well again now but really. Did you ever hear of such a thing?

I saw this news story. A frightening and near death experience for the man involve. But, I will be honest, I couldn't stop laughing.

I had the same reaction but it was easy to laugh in the knowledge he’s made a full recovery

Well, he can't blame anyone else for what happened to him - I guess he was sole-ly responsible! ?

I laughed too grin

I heard someone the other day use the expression “trout lips” in reference to some result of surgical facial enhancement. I have never seen a trout with lips, and don't think I would ever be tempted to kiss one whether it had or not!
