Ask Richard Gere's Gerbil:

Hey everyone... at least once every couple weeks Richard Gere's gerbil will be answering any questions you might have on any topic. He specializes in "Politics" and "The Art of Love Making" BUT if you need a good recipe on fried okra or when to hit in Blackjack.

“Oye mates, thank you for sending me all you questions, I love reading ‘em. Believe it or not we already have a question for the day. This question is from Sarah in Shreveport, La.”

Q: Can a regular office chair kill you?? Well I mean a human not Richard Gere’s Gerbil…

A: Bad times mate, an office chair CAN kill you in many ways but the most recent way someone has dies by an office chair was just the other day; a 14-year-old boy in China was killed when a gas cylinder chair exploded into his rectum. The extensive bleeding that followed killed him. The blast came from the highly pressurized gas which is used to raise and lower a chair.

I don’t mean to make light of the situation or question the integrity of the story but I know a guy who can fit a gas cylinder chair post in his bum and wouldn’t cry OR die about it.

Thanks again everyone, keep sending those questions and/or comments and he will get back to you.
