On the Mend

[Lindorm]

I do the nose-rinse-thing from time to time -when I have a cold and my nose is really clogged, it does seem to help in getting rid of some of the yuckiness. It is also nice to use it from time to time after work, considering the amount of dust I sometimes get exposed to (brake dust, mainly). I don't use any special pots or cans or holistic fire hydrants, just ordinary saline solution in little ampoules normally used as an eye rinse. Simple, easy to use, hygienic, and easy to put a few in the backpack.

The Ferret Song

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose.
CHORUS: He's got a ferret sticking up his nose.
How it got there I can't tell,
but now it's there it hurts like hell,
And what is more it radically affects
my sense of smell.His sense of smell.

I can see a bare-bottomed mandril,
Slyly eying my other nostril.
If he jumps inside there too I really won't know what to do,
I'll be the proud possessor of a kind of nasal zoo. A nasal zoo.

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose,
And what is worse it constantly explodes.
Ferrets don't explode you say but it happened nine times yesterday,
And I should know 'cause each time I was standing in the way. 'Ding in the way
