BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. - It was a conversation stopper. A lovers' dispute over a cell phone took a serious turn early Friday morning when the woman ended the spat by swallowing the phone whole.

Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. from a man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house they found the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat.

"He wanted the phone and she wouldn't give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it," Detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. "She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn't get it."

Police said an ambulance transported the woman to St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs.

A hospital spokeswoman said she couldn't give details about the woman's health since police have not released her identity.

Decker said police had closed investigations on the swallowing, the first such incident of its kind here.

"This is the first I've heard of this happening," said Decker. "I don't know what kind of phone it was. I don't know if it was on ring or vibrate, either."

yanno, i've heard of "swallowing one's pride" and life being a "hard pill to swallow" but, err, dontcha think this lady took things a tad too far? i guess we should be glad it wasnt one of those old-school "brick" phones.....my question is, will she be billed for uh, "roaming" charges? is um, a "swallowing" clause included in the phone's warranty?

the cop said it was the "first" of such incident of its kind there....damn, are there other places that we dont know of where people have swallowed their cell phones? and if the phone went all the way down, did it ring or vibrate alerting the swallower it was time to take a shit?

i'm sure it would be most embarassing if the swallowed phone had a "voice" tone that came out of the swallower's ass with a Tourette's style command like "ANSWER THE PHONE ASSHOLE!"

this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "talkin' outta your ass" dontcha think?
