A Chinese man that used a pair of small scissors as a toothpick ended up with them stuck in his oesophagus and with the sharp top angling up to his epiglottis after they slipped as he laughed.
"He had a big laugh on hearing a joke from a friend, and unexpectedly the scissors slipped inside his throat," said his wife.
The man tried to get the 9cm long and 4cm wide scissors out by coughing hard, but as the situation worsened, he was forced to go to a local hospital in Putian, Fujian province.
Using a whole body anaesthetic may have relaxed the throat muscles and allowed the scissors slip even deeper, so the hospital applied local anaesthetic and blood vessel forceps to remove the stuck scissors.
"The whole surgery took around 30 minutes. Luckily Lin does not have much of a wound inside his throat," said Doctor Chen.
