A Boy chokes on a coin A little boy was playing in his yard when he swallowed a coin that became lodged in his throat. His mother picked him up and ran down the street screaming for help. Luckily, a man ran over and hit the boy hard on the back so that the coin popped out of his mouth. ""Thank you so much, doctor!"" the mother said. ""Oh, I'm not a doctor, ma'am,"" said the man. ""I work for the IRS""
