I've always been leery of writers who describe someone who is talking as 'barking':

"Well, men," he barked. "Time to fill up the doggy bowl!"

I also am very leery about authors who have a character regurgitate an organ and then fail to have that character die or continue on without any kind of 'Yuck' factor. Can you say "911"? Or 'Colgate'?

He loved her so much that his heart was in his throat, which incidentally was the cause of his demise.
