Hey Doc, I got a tree in my lung


This piece of news in today's newspaper triggered my memory buds and took me back to my childhood. I still remember my grandma joking about a tree growing inside the body whenever we accidentally swallowed the seeds of fruits like watermelon, oranges, sweetlime etc,. I could not believe that it has actually happened in a man's body which was found by some Russian surgeons. They found a small fir tree growing in a man's lung after he complained of chest pain and excessive coughing. I could not resist blogging about this topic.

On a serious thought, it should be very painful for the person. My wishes are with that guy for a speedy recovery. 

But on a lighter note, imagine that I swallowed orange seeds accidentally and an orange tree grew inside my body. Let's say it's a bonsai plant (try to understand yaar...space constraints :-)). A fully grown orange tree starts giving fruits and ripe oranges start popping out of my mouth, nose, ears and any other possible outlets :-). I'm trying to imagine the humourous situations that can arise. 

Friends, let's play this game of imagination and pour out our funny, humourous ideas. Start pouring in.....

Waiting to see the various innovative, witty ideas.........
