Did you ever have something in your eye and now matter how much you flushed it with water it wouldn’t leave and annoy the hell out of you for hours? My mother would gently press her tongue against my eye and it would be gone. ---

That’s all well and good, x-ray, but it’s generally better not to use the words “mother” and “tongue” in the same sentence unless you are talking about your first language. Where are all the double-entedre lovin Brits when you need them? [Finbar Saunders]Fnurr! Fnurr![/Finbar Saunders] ---
