A lemon is a soft-shelled sea slug. I think he meant stood there like slugs.

[Responsibility2nd]

they just stood there like lemons

Uhhh... what?

 

 

 

Din't you know?

 

Lemons got legz.

 

Them do.

Bloomberg:...”from now on all food in NYC will be pureed! The straw market will be controlled by my office”!

[blackdog]

Staff stretched too thin. Need more. Need more grief counselors too. Need teflon additive to school lunches to prevent food sticking. Grants for research needed.

[blackdog]

Chew compliance officers required.

[adorno]

A. Demand that school staff be trained in the Heimlich Maneuver or



B. Call for a ban on meatballs.

I’m betting on B.

Most likely, C and/or D...

C. New legislation demanding that, all meatballs be made the size of peas to prevent choking.

D. All cafeteria food must be mashed or ground up before being fed to students.

[MaxMax]

Ban Meatballs. The Workers probably didn't want to be sued or fired.
It's most likely what it has come down to. Think about it, NY had to pass
a good samaritan law to force people into being sued.

[DustyMoment]

They say cafeteria workers at Public School 47 in the Bronx didn't know what to do and failed to help him.

It is OUTRAGEOUS that, in thi day and age, NONE of the cafetera staff knew the Heimlich manuever and, apparently (although not stated) NONE of the teachers appeared to know to maneuver or stepped in to help the boy!!

This is inexcusable!!

"I saw the boy start choking, but nobody was helping," Andrea Perez, 25, told the New York Post.

Including yourself, you twit.

haha, that's what I was thinking!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I think he meant lemmings.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Ha, good one!

Thanks, I needed that laugh!

[Average Al]

Time to hire SEIU professional un-chokers for every lunch room.

[heartwood]

If you read the article, the Dept of Ed report says a parent and an assistant principal attempted the Heimlich maneuver before the boy passed out, and kept trying to revive him until EMS got there, which account differs from the cafeteria worker’s story.

My local paper had just had an article about a teacher who survived choking, but the people who helped her didn’t really know what to do - she lucked out.

All the health curriculum mandates there are - you should teach children and adults a few basic emergency responses: Heimlich, how to stop bleeding, how to call 911.

[mountn man]

They work in a cafeteria and didn’t know the Heimlich maneuver?

If this were San Francisco, you could rest assured that EVERYONE would know how to do the Hindlick Maneuver.

[tioga]

Good grief. Are there not still signs up in cafeterias demonstrating the Heimlich Maneuver for them to follow? I think this should be mandatory training for their cafeteria staff.

[catbertz]

lol I had to scroll down to see the final drawing, which I didn’t expect. I almost choked on my bagel :)

I saw the boy start choking, but nobody was helping," Andrea Perez, 25, told the New York Post.

What were you doing, Andrea?

[BwanaNdege]

“Mayor Bloomberg will:

A. Demand that school staff be trained in the Heimlich Maneuver or

B. Call for a ban on meatballs.

I’m betting on B.”

or

C. Schedule a remedial viewing of “Mrs. Doubtfire” for all cafeteria workers and all teachers.

[Levante]

Exactly, what a dumbass. An Obama voter.

But I repeat myself.

[stylin19a]

members of SEIU ? I suppose we could use RAT logic....Unions kill kids
