Mouthbreather: > [@](#): > > Now, Sir – I don’t know you, so please don’t take this the wrong way…but I am having a hard time swallowing this story. How did a fly get stuck in her eye? This “person infested with bug eggs and them hatching” has a very strong odor of UL. Are you sure yer momma just wasn’t yanking your chain when she told you this? I don’t blame you at all for being incredulous. I didn’t believe the story myself when I first heard it. If she and my dad are yanking my chain here, then it’s pretty much the only instance where they’ve kept it up with as much consistency as santa or the easter bunny. I don’t know whether she still has any physical records about it or not, I know _I_ wouldn’t want to keep stuff around to remind me of it. I guess you could try a search of the medical records at the various hospitals down in Hawaii (I have no idea what island they were on, let alone the particular hospital they went to), but that would be pretty tedious. I’m afraid my word and hers are the only things you can go on here, sorry… (by the way, you can call me Dirx, not Sir) Dirx ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Phobia \* > \*\*I could post a link directly to a series of pictures, where a worm is being removed from a person’s eye. I won’t though because it’s gross and certain people will press the link and bitch. \*\* Send it to me in email…my address is in my profile. And **Dirx** , I wasn’t really looking for a link or some hard evidence to substantiate your story…just some more details. I suppose I have no problem beleiving that inside the eye socket is a reasonable enough environment to host and hatch fly eggs, I just don’t see how a fly gets stuck in your eye? 😕 ---

Does that qulaify me for anything? \*\* Same thing happened to a friend of mine when he was high. He was so high, in fact, he couldnt figure out what this thing on his sleeve was. So, in his curiosity to know what had landed on him… he licked it. good man. I’ll never get high as long as I live. ---
