Life Imitates Art: Tony Gonzalez saves "choking" man

Chiefs' TE Tony Gonzalez saved a choking man's life by applying the Heimlich. "Tony saved my life. There's no doubt," Ken Hunter, a shipping company manager, told The Associated Press. "Tony came up behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Thank God he was there." Oddly enough, Tony was never taught how to administer the maneuver. Lets compare this with a Chuck Palahniuk (think Fight Club) novel, Choke, where the main character, Victor Mancini cannot afford the care that his mother is receiving so goes to various restaurants and purposely causes himself to choke mid-way through his meal, luring a "good Samaritan" into saving his life. He keeps a detailed list of everyone who saves him and sends them frequent letters about fictional bills he is unable to pay. The people feel so sorry for him that they give him money, send him cards and letters asking him about how he's doing, and even continue to send him money to help him with the bills. Choke hits theaters this fall. "I'm Tony's No. 1 fan now," Hunter said. "I'm going to be yelling for Tony to catch the ball," (and send me money). What do you think?
