Man's lung ailment caused by fragment of fast food spoon"I know I didn't chow down on a spoon!" The Wilmington, North Carolina, resident had surgery last week to remove part of a plastic spoon from his lung. And it wasn't just any old plastic spoon; it came from the fast-food chain Wendy's, with the restaurant logo clearly visible on the handle. "It must have been in the food or drink,"  Manley told CNN affiliate WECT.His doctor found the spoon after looking into his lungs with an endoscope, a medical instrument with a long, thin tube containing a light and a video camera. "He explained that there was an object down there, and it had writing on it," Manley said. "It spelled out "Wendy's" on one side and 'hamburgers' on the other, and I was a little floored." So were his relatives, who, when they were telephoned with the news, were eating ... Wendy's.  First of all, how much of a hog do you have to be to not notice that you ate a plastic spoon handle!?? Second, how the hell did it go into his LUNG, as opposed to his stomach!? You'd think he would have at least noticed that a plastic spoon handle was going down the wrong pipe in between devouring his Wendy Burgers!  |

He was probably pigging out so hardcore he aspirated it without much more than a cough and then went back to fucking up some fries and a frosty. |
