I don’t know if this counts as stupid but over the last six days I have watched the first 15 episodes of Deadwood. It has certainly been detrimental to my sleeping habits. And I just tried to shove my wedding ring up my right nostril while the kids were in the other room. Thankfully, it does not fit. Now or ever. That definitely qualifies as stupid. ---

Stuck a quarter up my nose, because I don’t have a wedding ring, and my finger is about the same width. It fit. ---

The Dope has inspired me to: - have some really intense conversations with my husband - read [cracked.com](http://cracked.com) for hours at a time - go to the grocery store to buy ingrediants to make chicken pot pie - just tried to put my wedding ring in my nose… no way, jose - learn more/care about my batshit crazy local politicians - truly examine how I feel about handshake-rape I am sure there are others, but I have only been here for a year… ---

> [@Tastes\_of\_Chocolate](#): > > That thread was started a week after I joined here. 8 years later, it’s still my favorite thread of all time. I can’t believe I’ve never looked at that thread before. How did I miss it? Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m not sure which, I’ve never been married and I don’t wear jewelry, so I have nothing to shove up my nose. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anything that fits the OP, for me. I’ve been here ten years, so I’m sure there is something. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Do you think that nose debris would survive a MinuteMaster ™ set on “High”? > > Man, I’d hate to write the lab report… Hmmm, I think I’ll leave that one to Consumer REports. Although if you stick a bar of Ivory soap in the microwave for a minute it turns into a cool poofy iceberg type thing. The only drawback is the whole space will REEK of Ivory soap for at least a day. ---
