A woman was checking out at her local supermarket, when her five year old son began wheezing and make strange noises from his throat. The woman, now frantic, began to shout for help. A well-dressed businessman strode over and in less than ten seconds performed the Heimlich maneuver and extracted the nickel that was caught in the young boy’s windpipe.
The mother, ever so grateful to the gentleman for saving her son’s life, said, “Tell me, sir, are you a volunteer EMT that you were able to do that so quickly and professionally?”
“No, ma’am,” he replied. “I work for the IRS.”
