A man swallowed a mouse while sleeping on the couch one day. His wife quickly called the doctor and said, Doctor, please come quickly. My husband just swallowed a mouse and hes gagging and thrashing about.

Ill be right over, the doctor said. In the meantime, keep waving a piece of cheese over his mouth to try to attract the mouse up and out of there.

When the doctor arrived, he saw the wife waving a piece of smoked herring over her husbands mouth.

Uhh, I told you to use cheese, not herring, to lure the mouse.

I know, doc, she replied, but first Ive got to get the darn cat out of him!
