This poor lad from Argentina swallowed a party horn and now...he honks. Look!
Now, the whistle has been removed and he is completely fine (apart from having evidence forever that he once swallowed a party horn and spent the day honking for various medics before they removed it).

After he'd finished with the car he thought the best place to store the antifreeze would be under the stairs in the hallway.
