How to perform a paper-shredder Heimlich Maneuver

1. Curse the day you fed your shredder the "whoops!-it-was-too-fat" AAA account renewal junk letter, envelope and all.

2. Spend hours trying to pick the letter's remains out of your shredder's barbed teeth.

3. Cut a finger. Or two or twelve. Admit defeat. Curse AAA again.

4. Grab some pliers, start yanking on the half-shredded and blood-stained mess of what you couldn't floss out of your shredder's mouth.

5. While yanking, switch the shredder to reverse to induce vomiting.

6. BLEHHHHH!!!

I get one of those AAA letters every other month - even though I canceled my membership 3 1/2 years ago. Stickers + shredder = BIG MESS
