I used to believe that there were two tubes in my neck, one for drinks, and one for food, that lead directly to the very seperate substances that are pee and poo. Sometimes if I drank without being careful, I would accidentally breathe in the liquid... I didn't think about a tube for breathing, but I instead believed the drink had gone down the food tube and caused a massive problem.
so I still laugh to this day when I suck a bit of liquid into my trachea and scream... "IT WENT DOWN THE WRONG TUUUUBE!!!"
