DOCTORS REMOVE OCTOPUS FROM BOY'S THROAT

A 2-year-old Kansas boy was in serious condition Wednesday after doctors removed a small octopus from his throat. The boyfriend of the boy’s mom was arrested and held on suspicion of child abuse in the incident Tuesday night in Wichita. The boy’s 21-year-old mother found her 36-year-old boyfriend performing CPR on the child, who wasn’t breathing. The boy was transported to a hospital, where an “obstruction” was removed from his throat. Police said that the object was a small octopus that appeared to be intended for preparation as sushi.
* ‘Cause, basically … how ELSE would you explain it?
* If throat octopusses are a problem, I’d say move farther from the ocean, but if you’re in Kansas I guess you can’t do that.
* Wow, I just can’t wrap my head around this story.
* What a strange journey for an octopus to take.
* See? This is why I don’t eat sushi.
* And it doesn’t make me want to visit Kansas either.
* A 2-year-old with an octopus in his throat? Gee, and at that age they’re usually such picky eaters.
* An octopus? Or the smallest “Alien” ever?
* “I can’t get my arms around this kid’s face … I’ll just try going right down the throat.”
* Tough times in Kansas. But enough about the Villanova game.
