I have absolutely no idea why. I was just alone in the office over lunch, doing some work, and while waiting for something to print out, I started fiddling with my wedding ring. The next thing I know, it was wedged up my left nostril.
It’s quite a good fit, and it kind of unblocks my nostril at the top, allowing me to breathe easier. The bottom of it sticks out a teeny bit, making it look like I have an extreeeme piercing.
My nose is clean, so no boogers, but I think I’m going to have to take it out and wash it. Before anyone returns from lunch.
Does anyone else have something this bizarre, yet lame, to report?
I was dancing on my landing opposite a huge window. After a while I realised that there was an entire minibus full of children parked acorss the road watching me.
You might also try the trick my dad used to do in boring meetings - he’d put a rubber band around his head under his hairline before the meeting began. Then he’d wiggle his scalp during the meeting until eventually the rubber band would shoot up his head and lift a tuft of hair up on his head, seemingly spontaneously.
Out of curiosity, do you have freakishly small hands, or freakishly big nostrils? 'Coz I can’t even begin to get my wedding ring up my nose, and it’s a size 7.
Neither (at least in my mind) - I’ve just measured, and the ring’s exactly 2cm (0.8 in) across, while my nostril is 1.5cm (0.6 in) across, when unflared. However, when flared it ican easily accommodate the ring. Bear in mind that, being a gent’s ring, it doesn’t have a huge J-Lo style rock on it.
My engagement ring almost fits in there. The diamond sticks out though. I’ve been cursed with the middle eastern nose and I wear a size 4.5.
I have a birth hole (kinda like a birthmark, but just ended up as a hole) by my right ear. I used to stick earrings in it in high school to freak people out.
The outer diameter of my ring side-to-side is 1.8cm. Front-to-back (including setting and stone) it’s 2.1cm. I have no interest in doing the contortions involved in measuring nostrils, my own or anyone else’s. However, even flared, my nostril will not even begin to accommodate my ring.
It sounds like you wear a 7.5 or 8 ring, which is fairly small for a guy. It also sounds like you have some really big nostrils.
I can’t believe I’m having this discussion. I also can’t believe I just tried to stuff my wedding ring up my nose.
This is absolutely hilarious and I am trying it at my next meeting. I just can’t wait to see the expression on people’s faces when a tuft of my hair suddenly stands up straight.
I sometimes put a quarter in my ear. Just walk around, with a quarter standing vertically in the folds of the cartilage. A high school friend of mine tried to start it as a fashion trend when they wouldn’t allow him to wear a razor blade dangling from a paperclip as an earring.
I once lost my high school ring, uh, inside my girlfriend. We got it out, but it was her idea in the first place.
