Grant Morrison (writer of The Filth and New X-Men), tells Comic Book Wire:

Quite recently, a gold crown broke out of Morrison’s mouth while he was eating. He accidentally swallowed the crown, which wouldn’t have been such a big deal were it not for the outrageous cost of replacement: $1600. In a truly remarkable display of thriftiness, the writer spent the next several days digging through his own waste with a spoon trying to find that gold crown, even developing new systems to increase efficiency along the way. “I was shitting in a bag!” Morrison laughed. “But before I’d discovered the technology, I was shitting in the sink!”

Tragically, the crown was never recovered. When asked if he would have put such a thing back into his mouth even if he had found it, Morrison replied, “That’s the real question, isn’t it? It’s like Sophie’s Choice.”

Aaargh.
