you don't and you attempt it, there is a very good probability you'll

Are you saying Mr. Sails ain't the suin' kind?
Hmm, that would make a good country song...

Anyway, as somebody else posted, doing a tracheotomy isn't that hard.
Shucks, they gave instructions how to do it on M*A*S*H (one of the only
TV shows I've ever watched) and it worked perfectly.

Heck, I've assisted at so many vet surgeries that not much fazes
me...had to sit on the neck of a filly that jumped a piece of farm
equipment in a fit of pique and opened her gut up so wide her
intestines fell out....that was a trat..she lived and ended up being
a quite satisfactory pet for her owner's kids....jabbing a little
old pen knife into someone's neck when they're turning purple
wouldn't be hard to do at all...
