Don't I Nose It
If I could take one part of my body and trade it in for a better model, it would be my nose.
I really don't have a problem with the way my nose looks. From the outside it's fine. It's even the home of my coolest scar (someday I'll tell you the story).
It's the inside of my nose that I really don't like. Right now I'm in the second day of a bad cold, which has caused me to sneeze approximately every 52 seconds for 48 hours. And I get these things far too easily. Even when I'm ostensibly healthy, I sneeze far too often for no apparent reason at all. It gets stuffy without provocation.
In fact, the only thing great about the inside of my nose is that it runs like mad when I'm around cats, so I don't have to be around the nasty beasts.
So when you're around me and I give my trademark "foghorn" blow (Shelly's turned it into a term of endearment, if you can believe it), don't be offended. Rather, please feel sorry for me and grateful for your own nose.
