Politics does not have a reputation for being the most fascinating of subjects.

But one teenager yawned so deeply during a class on the topic that her mouth got stuck wide open and she had to be taken to hospital.

Holly Thompson, 17, was studying for her government and politics A-level at the Northampton School for Girls when she dislocated her jaw and found herself unable to close it again.

1. Wish that would happen to some people here who do the 'yawn' thing to belittle others' arguments.

I know how you do a virtual yawn but how do you get your cyber jaw stuck?

2. I hope she doesn't read DU if politics bore her to such an extent!

3. This happened to Burt Reynolds quite a while back and caused him

huge problems with alignment, etc. Hope she's okay.

6. Is that why he does the gum chewing thing all the time?

Or am I just thinking of Norm McDonald's impression?

[monmouth]

8. Could be but I do know that's how he got hooked on the pills. Very

painful, difficult to eat and chew food, etc.

4. Woah I had no idea that was possible. Afraid to yawn now.

5. I will not yawn

I will not yawn. I will not yawn.
