I just attempted as well. Not even close. I’ve always thought I had a fairly prominant schnozz. It appears that I may have undersized nostrils. I have a cold, so now I have to lick it clean. kidding. kidding. ---

I work for a company that has cameras everywhere. Big Brother is always watching. Well one day I was on my way out the door and was in the short hallway. I knew there was a camera up above so I purposley stood back further so I would not be in view of the guards. I had to rearrange myself. I was wearing a Demi bra (which is for a breast on the half shell) and was falling out. So I leaned forward and jiggled my breast back in my bra. Then I decided to rearrange my panthose and so I proceeded to stretch and grab and pull. Finally I was put together I walked forward and took a look at how far I was behind the camera and I was safe enough distance away. What I didn’t know was that they had installed a **new** camera directly in front of me. And the guards in the other building got the perfect view. I was mortified. ---

My wedding ring is 1 1/8 inches across – 29mm. No way is that sucker going to fit. ---

I used to be able to fit a quarter in my nostril. Haven’t tried in quite a while, though. ---

The contemplation of scattered hordes of Dopers in offices across the world, weddingringing their nostrils, is sending me into… wait, it’s some sort of ecstasy… nirvana… comprehension… 42… No, wait, I’m going to be sick. ---

Haven’t tried it with a wedding ring, but use to wrap a rubber band around the end of my nose. It drives my SO crazy. It makes you look a little like Rudolph. ---

In the absence of a wedding ring, I was forced to improvise. Scientific investigation indicated: 10p piece, easily insertable; the somewhat larger 2p piece, insertable with some stretching and discomfort, fortunately proved to be removable. Have decided not to experiment with £2 coin. Of course, the person this thread _really_ needs is **Ianzin** , whose feats of nasal accomodation are whispered of in awe whenever British Dopers are gathered together … ---

The boredom of the day led me to give in to temptation. Nope didn’t fit, .9 inches in diameter and .25 inches in width. I refrained from actually measuring my nostrils. I knew a guy in highschool who had a habit during math class of sticking the brand new loonies (Canadian $1 coins) up both nostrils. ---

Good christ that hurts! The things you people make me do. No. Not even close to getting my wedding ring up my nose, not even my engagement ring from when I was skinnier. I can’t get it more than a third in without it hurting like hell. Sounds like it will be easy enough to spot **jjimm** at the Dubdope… ---

I don’t have a ring, of any kind. Maybe I can borrow Caroline’s engagement ring. She’s in the next cubicle. You think she’d mind if I said, “Hey, Caroline, can I see your ring for a minute?” and then stuffed it up my beezer? ---

Cut the man a break. At least it was _his own_ nostril, and not the nostril of, say, his supervisor, or a perfect stranger. _That_ would have been strange. ---

I’m not going to try this because I’m expecting a conference call, and it might be rather difficult to explain if they caught me at the wrong time. That’s the only reason though. I won’t even tell you some of the things I get up to with paper clips, 'cause it’s almost lunch time. ---

**jjimm** , you are the PuppetMaster. Just think, you have people all over the globe trying to wedge precious rocks and metals into their nostrils. You rock! My only regret is that I don’t have a wedding ring anymore. I lost it a few months ago. ::sniff::☹ mmm… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-stuck-my-wedding-ring-up-my-nose/199505.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-stuck-my-wedding-ring-up-my-nose/199505.md?page=3)
