A buddy of mine, who shall remain nameless for reasons you will see why, recently sent me this email update on how he is doing since moving to North Carolina a few years back.
Last night I accidentally had too much food (ham) in one bite and
almost choked to death. Really was scary. I needed the heimlic (sp?)
maneuver and was alone (of course) in my house. Luckily, I bent over
and coughed hard enough to dislodge the obstruction. Whew! That was
close. I don’t remember how to do that maneuver to one’s self.
I started to respond with “You and Mama Cass!” However, given that he is several years younger than me, I figured I’d better give him the link to the story about how Cass died choking on a ham sandwich.
Well, guess what? Turns out the Maryland girl did NOT die from choking on a ham sandwich. Her autopsy revealed that a heart attack did her in (click here for that story and others about her. The article also has several of her videos for your listening/viewing pleasure.)
Cass died on 29 July 1974 as follows:

Somehow I just new that 29 July 74 was a Monday.
Proves that you really can’t trust that day can you?
