It takes very little to make my
eyes water. I discovered this shortly after discovering a longer than I would like
nose hair. It
tickled, it
annoyed, it had to go. Try as I might I could not quite succeed in grasping the offending
folicle with my fingers. I did succeed in clearing my
tubes of
nose goblins though as I sneezed and
poked and
prodded till they were all gone. Luckily my ex-
girlfriend had helped me to select a very useful and precisely engineered pair of
surgical tweezers. These were really for
plucking the hair from my back and shoulders though I noticed that she used them to pluck hairs from the
mole on her face too. Taking these tweezers of
excellence in one hand and the the tip of my nose in the other I
peered into the
mirror. My first (and most
disturbing)
realisation was that there were far more hairs than I had originally thought. My second realisation was that I was getting
old. You pluck and you're old. Anyway, I took said tweezers and gripped the hair - this is not for the easily tickled because it REALLY
tickles. Next,
holding my breath against an impending
sneeze, I pulled. My
eyes watered. I hadn't pulled hard enough, the hair was still there...
sigh...
