Some people have weird talents, like being able to roll their tongue into a funnel or bend their thumb back to touch their wrist. Here's a girl who took her "special skill" a little too far...
Sue S., a teenager in Colorado, had a rare talent: She could put her whole fist into her mouth.(Go ahead-try it.) This amazed her friends so much that they were constantly bringing things to stick in her mouth. One day, a friend gave her the ultimate challenge: Could she get her mouth around the big doorknob on the science lab's door? Sue bet $10 that she could-and knelt down by the door and did it! The trouble was. once she got her jaw locked around the knob, she couldn't spit it out. To make matters worse, class was in session in the lab, and any second the bell was going to ring and someone would open the door and knock her teeth out. While the school nurse ran to call 911, someone else told the science class to leave the room by climbing out the first-floor window. Meanwhile, Sue was stuck-gagging, drooling, and starting to panic, and students were starting to gather, staring and saying things like," That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen." When the fire-department crew arrived, they had to take the door off its hinges (with Sue still attached) and lay it flat on the floor. They gave Sue a shot in the butt to relax her muscles and, finally, her jaw unlocked. The good news: Sue won the $10
