Wreck saves choking trucker’s life

If he hadn’t wrecked his rig, truck driver Richard Paylor might not be alive today.
Paylor, 56, of Fairless Hills, PA, said he was eating an apple while out on the road near Reading, when a chunk of it got stuck in his throat, according to the Reading Eagle newspaper.

He told the news outlet that he doesn’t remember if he blacked out. However, witnesses say they saw him slumped over the wheel of his truck. Paylor was heading west on Route 422, when his truck bounced off a guard rail and slammed into a median. He drives for Lily Transportation Corp., based in Massachusetts.

Police at the scene stated that the impact worked much like the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the chuck of apple out of Paylor’s throat, which saved his life.
He walked away from the accident with a fractured vertebra, several bruises and a cut on his head. No one else was hurt in the wreck.

See, even good food will kill you. The solution -- eat chocolate.

During the late 60's, most television programs and commercials were live. There were no "pre-recorded" programs. There were some obvious problems with this method. No "retakes" and "bloopers" were a regular occurrence.

This is no blooper!

This guy was just VERY upset with his boss, and told it like he thought it was. What a great job of ad-libbing.

He never misses a beat while the camera man is just about to lose it.

The commercial got on the air... but only once. We have to assume he quit right after the commercial -- one way or another.
