When breakfasting this morning, I choked on my scrambled egg and beans on toast, and ended up with some food going up in to my nasal cavity. It was very uncomfortable. Blowing my nose, I immediately was able to dislodge some of the egg. After about a minute I blew a bean out. 45 minutes later I dislodged another bean, and am feeling a little better. I hope that is the last of them. It got me thinking that if it happens again in the future, I would probably offer a spread of 1 or 2 beans, and then buy at 3 beans or more. Then, if there were more than two beans stuck up there I would be 'quids in', but if there were no beans I would be happy regardless of the financial outcome.

Never eat breakfast when you're drunk.

I thought mama told you not to stick beans in your ears....

Song Title:
Beans In My Ears

Lyrics:
My mommy said not to put beans in my ears
Beans in my ears, beans in my ears
My mommy said not to put beans in my ears
Beans in my ears

Now why would I want to put beans in my ears
Beans in my ears, beans in my ears
Now why would I want to put beans in my ears
Beans in my ears

You can't hear the teacher with beans in your ears,
Beans in your ears, beans in your ears
You can't hear the teacher with beans in your ears,
Beans in your ears

What's that you say, let's put beans in our ears
Beans in our ears, beans in our ears
What's that you say, let's put beans in our ears
Beans in our ears

You'll have to speak up I got beans in my ears
Beans in my ears, beans in my ears
You'll have to speak up I got beans in my ears
Beans in her ears

Say mommy we've gone and put beans in our ears
Beans in our ears, beans in our ears
Say mommy we've gone and put beans in our ears
Beans in our ears

That's nice boys just don't put those beans in your ears
Beans in our ears, beans in our ears
That's nice boys just don't put those beans in your ears
Beans in our ears

I think that all grown ups have beans in their ears
Beans in their ears, beans in their ears
I think that all grown ups have beans in their ears
Beans in their ears

Physically, I experienced a feeling very similar to a bad hangover, and I had not taken alcohol the previous day, nor with the breakfast. I am going to attribute the reaction to systemic delivery of piperine, present in black pepper, which I liberally added, and must have with his meal, across the respiratory epithelium. For a control, perhaps someone could try a similar dosage of scrambled egg and beans on toast, without the pepper? In the name of science.

It seems unlikely the experiment would further understanding, so please regard the last two sentences of the previous paragraph as humour.

I enjoyed listening to Beans In My Ears, thank you.

I think that falls under "Don't drink and drive".
