OT: Tip for safety sake.

Just wanted to share this. I work for a health insurance company and rec'd a call from a member today who's son just got out of the hospital from surgery. He'd swallowed a wire brush bristle from a wire brush that was used to clean a grill. It became lodged in his throat and they had to do surgery to remove it. Apparently, the bristle came off and stuck to the grill, then it got in a hamburger and he ate it. The surgeon said it was a pretty common occurance! Don't use wire brush on the grill!
