Let’s Get High. . .
When I was a kid, I drank a 16 ounce bottle of Robutussin to get high, and then I sat on my bedroom floor convinced that I not only saw the entire smurf village, but that I was actually a smurf inside the village. It was the strangest 26 hours of my life.
Needless to say when it comes to getting high, I’ve done a lot of stupid things. But asking someone else to strangle me? I’m happy to say that I was smart enough to never try.
It’s called the “Choking Game” and according to a new CDC report, at least 82 kids have died in the last twelve years. The CDC can’t be sure on the exact number because in many cases accidental asphyxiation are reported as suicides.
Personally, I’m not sure how hanging yourself from your bedroom ceiling could be classified as a game because last I checked games were things like Monopoly and Call of Duty 4.
But for parents who are concerned that their children might be playing it, the CDC issued a list of possible warning signs some of which include bloodshot eyes, severe headaches, and of course a rope tied to a piece of furniture.
But honestly, I think if your kid is dumb enough to hang himself to get high, then god probably didn’t intend for you to have children. Yes, I am that mean.
