Whats up or has been up your nose?

Every heart string I have was pulled tonight by the sight of that video of the turtle getting a drink straw pulled out of it's nose. Possibly the longest 5 minutes of video I forced myself to watch from end to end. And possibly the strongest moment in my life thus far of hating myself simply for being human.

But in my - AND After Hours - spirit of dealing with things through irreverent humor - what is the weirdest or funniest or most tragic thing you have had up your nose - and how and why.

And if anyone has the book to hand - did not Bill Bryson have a quote about picking his nose over breakfast because it felt like he had a cornflake up there?

Got a peanut stuck up there when I was a kid

I was wandering down the road once while I had a cold. I started getting a runny nose so I sniffed. This happened just as a fly landed on the end of my nose. It had gone down my throat before I knew it. It was one of the most disgustingly traumatising moments of my whole life.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly

Now & then I'm prone to digitally excavating one of my nostrils.

A fellow human noticed this tendency. He said...

'Stay at it long enough & you'll pick a winner!'.

I had to laugh.

As a child I once tried snorting sixteen crayons up my nose for the craic, I duly sneezed them out but it wasn't until i reached my 40's that I discovered that one had been lodged in my brain. Initially horrified, I swiftly had it removed via medical procedure. Afterwards I suddenly found myself dressing and speaking more sophistically, with a new great knowledge of mundane facts. With my brainiac, know it all spiky haired daughter much pleased with the new me. We began bonding more with our shared intelligence and sophistication.

However I soon grew bored of this smrt me and had my wacky, creepy and sleazy local bartender hammer in a new crayon up my nose to return to my previous self. We all had a good laugh afterwards.

My finger.

diced an old xanax and put it up there once.
dunno if it worked or if it was just placebo effect/suggestion but things sure seemed A-Ok right there after.

Got a smartie jammed up my nose when I was a kid, perpendicular to the nasal canal so it took a few hours to get out with a tweezers

A condom.....the one trick to make at least one person puke at a party

In my mid 20's I went out with a girl from York who had nasophilia and used to tongue my nostrils.

It was the weirdest thing I've ever encountered, apart from bum sniffer from Tralee, but that's another thread.

A piece of the grey white erasers that we had in school found its way up into my nasal cavity in first class back in 82. It decided to come down again 27 yrs later. Anytime i got a head cold it was a nightmare with the right nostril becoming impossible to free. It never caused any trouble while it was up there. Thought it would have dissolved in the meantime.

I went through a brief phase as a child where I'd drink mugs of juice through my nose.

Accidentally taking in a big sniff of chlorinated pool-water, or inhaling under the shower, and getting an awful dose of shampoo in the back of your throat. Sickening way to start the morning tbh.

A bean from a bean bag, I was young, wanted to know what is smelt like, had to be taken to hospital to get it taken out.

I once tried Chatroulette. Everyone kept 'nexting' me. I was getting bored of it so I stuck a permanent marker up each nostril. This held peoples attention long enough for me to 'next' them before they had a chance.

When I was younger, I used to prove how 'cool' I was by smoking through my nose.
