This is actually a surprisingly valuable life lesson.  Before you JAM YOUR TONGUE into your significant other's mouth to kiss and make up after a fight . . . you'd better be DAMN sure they're not still holding a grudge.

 

 

--On Valentine's Day, 51-year-old Elaine Cook of Skokie, Illinois and her 47-year-old boyfriend got into a fight.  They've been together for 10 months and it's not clear why they got into a fight.

 

 

--Anyway, Elaine's boyfriend decided they should just move past it, kiss, and make up.  So he started kissing her.  And Elaine responded by . . . BITING OFF a LARGE CHUNK of his TONGUE.

 

 

--He ran to the kitchen and tossed his tongue in a bag of ice.  Then he called 911.  Doctors were NOT able to reattach the missing piece of the tongue.

 

 

--Elaine was arrested and charged with felony aggravated domestic battery.  She's still in jail . . . because her bail is $100,000 and her boyfriend says he's not paying because, quote, "I have to focus on getting better now."
