Pentagram

A 76-year-old British woman went to the doctor with complaints of stomach related problems. Upon examining her x-ray, her physician, Dr. Oliver Walters, discovered a foreign object in her stomach.

The object was removed and turned out to be a felt tipped pen which could still write after being in her tummy for 25 years. (They don't make those things like they used to.) By the way, the pen was not the cause of her weight loss and diarrhea but they removed it anyway.

What seems odd about this whole affair is that she 'accidentally swallowed a pen' and forgot about it. She was standing on stairs, looking in a mirror while poking at her tonsils with a felt tip pen. As fate would have it, she fell and swallowed the pen.

Now what kind of a nitwit a) stands on stairs while sticking a pen down her throat and b) sticks a pen down her throat.

Perhaps a psychiatric examination is in order.
