+Warwagon MVC Posted May 28, 2013 MVC Share Posted May 28, 2013 I heard this on the Security Now" podcast, so I thought I would share. If you suspect someone is having a stroke, have them do the following 4 things 1) Have them Smile 2) Have them raise their arms above their head 3) Have them say a simple sentence 4) Have them stick out their tongue. If they are having a stroke it won't come out straight. YounGMessiah and garwin 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted May 28, 2013 Author MVC Share Posted May 28, 2013 You could also tell them a "warwagon joke" but sadly if they laugh, the stroke is the least of their worries. garwin and neo1911 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
