I’d say your nose is probably happy the ring didn’t fit.

After the dog-butt-toe post, all I can think is “Urk!”

OMG, this thread is why I love the SDMB.

What the hell, I’m bored at home alone and I’ve had a couple beers. Wait here. _:: Goes to get ring out of jewelry box. ::_

I have no wedding ring, but this decorative band fits halfway up my nose vertically, and is apparently happy to be parked there. No way it’ll go any further up vertically and no way it’ll go in at all horizontally.

Oh, the things I do to be one of the cool kids.

Yes, but I attribute that to the copious amounts of cocaine.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine took one of those Nerf basketball sets with the suction cup hoop and stuck the hoop to his forehead. We then played a game of b’ball with him running around as we tried to dunk the ball in his face. But the best part was after about 15 minutes of this, he took off the hoop to discover he was now the proud owner of a 3 inch giant hickey!

After reading this thread, I went home, dug out my wedding band and found it fits up my nose perfectly. First use I’ve had for the thing in twenty years.

I’ve also had the suction cup hickey on the forehead before.

Those who witnessed my recent antics at LonDope may be interested to know that last month I managed to fit 16 ten pence pieces into my belly button.

I also fit €4.34 in there at a big business dinner in Monte Carlo.

Noone beats me in the belly button challenge. Hear me, **Tansu**? NOONE!

The lovely **Crusoe** is very accomplished at nostril padding, and indeed attempted to woo me with an aniseed ball up each one… these days he prefers asparagus (see how far you can get a spear to fit). So I will point him in this direction so he can try the ring test.

Alas, I am ringless, but my Medic-Alert bracelet fits half way in!

I am so pleased to hear that I’m not the only person who experiences a weird twinge when inserting things in my belly-button. It’s not quite a G-spot twinge for me; more like a pang in my labia.

Most comforting, as this has been something that’s bothered me for years.

Re quarters in noses: I have a coworker whose boyfriend and brother compete with each other to see how many quarters they can fit in their nostrils. I believe the boyfriend can fit six (on edge, not flat like a plate).

And all I got was this lousy T-shirt!

(My appologies if this joke has already been made, I just skimmed through the four pages in this thread.)

“Labia Pang” would make an eye-catching username.

Alright **jjimm** , how much did you win in the bet you made in the bar the other night about getting dopers to shove things up their noses?
