Couldn't think of anything worthwhile to post so:

What's the most time-trusted and effective method of removing foreign objects ie: crayons, dominoes, tiddly-winks, small coins etc. from one's nostril?

(You notice I didn't say my nostril!)

[reader50]

Corkscrew.

<you said "effective", nothing about painless>

[wlonh]

i use a jackhammer... a bit extreme perhaps, but it does the job!

[DocWest]

Vacuum Cleaner.
Or if it's really stuck, hammer and chisel.

[jeffreyloaf]

Feathers.

[RWoelk]

How about employing the services of a board certified Otorhinolaryngologist who takes perverse pleasure in practicing on the kinky side of his or her profession.

How about that thing they used in Total Recall. You can demonstrate the proper technique for us.

you know, my little sister once got a pea stuck in her nose. My mom tried unsuccessfully to get it out, so they went to the emergency room. When they got there, the pea somehow came out on it's own.

It's probably a version of "If you leave it alone, it'll work itself out" or something like that.

I think this topic needs to be shut down.

I wouldn't worry about it. Let it be ey.....

It could be worse......ie mud mixed with paint: Me yesterday after a day paintballing!

[deedar]

a razor blade would work quite nicely....

[Anthony the PC lover]

Huff and puff and blow a HUGE-ASS snot rocket. Thats how I clear MY nose.

[RWoelk]

Yeah, we know... and we would expect nothing less from a PC lover

Pardon me while I clean my screen...

I'm actually an experienced professional nostril foreign object specialist. (Ahem)

lay the individual on his/her back. Duck tape the mouth area and carefully fill the ear canals with a hardening substance ie. rubber cement to prevent any air from leaking. I also try to fill in the other opening near the pelvic area in my patient with a hard object but I use a different object for a female than I would a male I then ask the largest person in the room to sledge hammer my patients stomach. This method usually works on the first hit with the sledge hammer but sometimes a couple of more hits are required.

[Zwilnik]

doh, you all forgot the most simple solution of all... shove a crayon up the other nostril until the pressure equalises and they both fall out

[Bockie]

Nah, that never works. It's just an old wives' tale...the pressure equalizes only if you add a crayon in each ear also.

[ThinkInsane]

Take another crayon ( some shade of blue would work) and drive it through the subjects eye. In a relatively short period, they will forget all about the one lodged in their nostril. Problem solved.

[RWoelk]

MMMmmm.... Shades of a unilateral lobotomy. It worked for me and now I am as docile as a new born lamb.

and i always say i'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!

heh

[RWoelk]

That works, too, but I gave up those luscious martinis years ago or did I?

Belch , burp....
