var articleDescription = 'Australian politician Graham Perrett apparently laughed so hard at the season six premiere of the HBO comedy show Veep that he started choking on his sushi dinner. He then stumbled into a cabinet and knocked himself out, landing himself with three stitches and a black eye, proving comedy and danger aren’t as separated as we’d like them to be. Luckily that was the extent of his injuries and Perrett is recovering nicely.';
