  • HELP!

    From David A@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 8 12:29:59 2021
    Came across this one from a 1960s crossword, and I'd appreciate a little help with the rationale!

    I get the obvious bit, but how does the teaspoon swallowing work?

    Swallowing a teaspoon won't paralyse you even if you can't do so (4)
