That sucks man!
Try this...
Put your lips tightly around the bolt hole and suck REAL hard. Then using your tongue at the same time until you feel it on your tongue and work it out. Repeat over and over until you get all of it.

Hey Extreme,,,If you do decide to try and use a shop vac method or something like that and find a 1/4 or bigger hollow (metal or plastic) tube to use or maybe even a 1/4 copper water line? I would connect a rubber type vac/fuel line first to the end of the shop vac hose with duct tape because you may need to remove this metal or plastic tube ever time you pull it out from the head hole to clean it out ,,,verses removeing and retapeing the rubber line every time you pull it out. This wet paper is going to get pulled into the tube and clogged everytime you pull it out ,,,,unless your lucky enough to get it all in the first grab (Just find a rubber line thats going to pull off of your tube easy
Anytime something like this happen to me i always think,,, (What the **** would Mcgiever do) LOL
I also think this would be a way better method of cleaning the head bolt hole of coolant then the paper towel method LOL(Just IMO now guys)and use some either(starting fluid )afterwards to get the coolant residue out too.
Can you guys tell im bored as **** right now? LOL

I vote shop vac. If you need one let me know. I actually had a similar accident happen last week with painting my 5.3 block last week. I tape up my oil pressure senor and threaded it in the hole. While some of the tape stuck to the threads in the hole. I used a screwdriver that has been modded into a little pick. I used this to try to loosen the tape from the threads. This lead the straind of tape to fall into the oil hole where i could not see it anymore. The vac worked. Confirmed it by empty out the vac before. Afterwards I checked the vacs canitster. There's the straind of tape.....

I may have something better for ya. I forgot that I have a tool ( don't know the name you would call it) that has a jaw that comes out of it when you push the button on the top of it. Skinny as a screwdriver. It would fit into a headbolt. It's made for things like this.

Find yours self a 1/4 or smaller vac line or small metal tube like maybe and old antana or crack pipe LOL and connect it to some type of vac source ,,,maybe even rig something to the end of a shop vac with duct tape and just suck it out the piece or pieces alittle at a time and run a tap threw once you think you have it all out ,,,just to grab any little pieces that may be stuck in the threads This is what ide do Youll get it Extreme LOL just take a break for a minute before you get started 
I was going to say, (Just use a tap,),, but i then thought about it for a moment before posting on here and beings its such a big wad of wet paper towel ,,,,that he'd be better off trying to suck most of it out first because he'd run the chance of getting a tab or bolt like you said 98noscamaross, stuck in the hole and take a chance of really ******* the threads up LOL which would really push him over the edge to start his fire LOL I know it would me LOL

For future reference, small bore brush for a 9mm would work as well. If that doesn't get it out it would surely clean the bolt hole and tear the towel up enough to then blow it out with compressed air!
