Ewwwww. I've done that when my dog threw up. Ewwwwwwwwww.

Still, I would take a hairball on the foot rather than a lego, anyday. Those nasty little things do permanant damage.

I stepped on a pencil once.... ER couldn't fish it all out. A orthopedic surgeon said he got it all but about a month later a 1 inch piece of led poked out of the wound. I saved it....
This is when I discovered I can't have x-rays I paid for without a DR's order. The surgeon refunded my portion of the bill. The Hospital, Radiology, Anesteologist wouldn't.
They didn't buy my reasoning that I paid for a service (pencil removal) and the service wasn't completed so I shouldn't have to pay.
Right?

I vote with you on that one!!!

No service = NO PAY!!
