So I'm sitting downstairs on the PC and suddenly I hear from upstairs a shout. "Fuck babe its stuck I can't get it out!". I frantically run up stairs because I know its my friend. I finally get to the scene and see what the hell was the commotion all about. Well wouldn't you know it, he was playing with a Hungry Hungry Hippo marble and it somehow is now jammed in his nose. His girlfriend called the ambulance, and I guess they tried to remove it, because it didn't drive off right away. But then they took off.
Now he has to spend a few hours in an ER, and tell nurses along the journey to seeing the doctor exactly why hes there.
"I shoved a Hungry Hungry Hippo ball up my nose miss" Update: he's home and heres what happened. + Show Spoiler +

Anyways, so he has to go back tomorrow for 9:00 AM. Its now the 11:45 PM. There's a 30% chance that if it goes far enough it can reach the lung and sufficate him in his sleep. So he was sent home being told not to sniffle, not to sleep on his back, but instead on his side.
Lastly, I asked him if he wanted to play Hungry Hungry Hippo's! + Show Spoiler +
Ya that sucks, I remember when I was like 5 I shoved a bead up my nose. I wouldn't let anyone take it out and had to go to the hospital to get it removed.

he thought his nose was a hippo? Dude the hardest part was not laughing, bcus he was so fritghtened that he lost his temper hahah so laughing i had to hold off until just before the ambulance arrived.
Lol the real kicker is he kept telling me he slapped a little bead from the palm off his hand and it went zoop into his nose. I found it believable i mean the odds slim, but he wasnt freaking for nothing. But then i found out from my mother that he had a Hungry Hungry Hippo marble and not a bead then i rofled. Cus i know u cant accidently get those stuck unless u SHOVED it in your nose.
and i cudnt see it in plain view, and there was no lump in his nose. so it was like wayyyyyy back up in thurr.

no beating the man up, he just went thru a traumatic marble incident in his very unfortunate night. LOL
My friend's brother stuck a lego piece up his nose. However, his parents didn't believe him until after a couple weeks; it just came out when they went swimming.

O.O did his parents freak out after? Also in 1st grade a friend of mine stuck an eraser deeeep into some other kids ear =/
Don't stick popcorn kernals in your ears pretending they are hearing aids either. I only managed to get one out, and just ended up pushing the other one in further. I don't know if it ever came out...

Well while your friend was BEING AN IDIOT and "gettin a free ride"( which isn't free, he'll soon find out) to the hospital, I got a raise at my job.. Thanks for asking..
hehehehehe. about 3 years ago, one of my not-so-bright bandmates accidentally got supermagnets stuck in his nose. he had to go the ER to get them out. we still make fun of him for it to this day

I can't imagine a system whereby there's a disincentive for a person in need to rush themselves to medical aid.
Well... I wouldn't want our healthcare system in Canada to pay for an ambulance ride for someone who stuck a marble up his nose... I thought that's reserved for like dying people

Well "free" is relative (taxes pay the system after all). However, considering staying alive is pretty important (), I don't consider it odd.
But If I remember correctly there is a fee for ambulance in Canada, but it depends on a couple of things (I'm not sure if it varies from province to province however).

Wishbones, seriously, ask him why he did that? Please?
