>> So it's this way. I was in the shower the other night,

>> Since Colorado is considered to be a semi arid place, it is pretty

>> My sinuses, therefore, are always quite dry. In the closed in

>> humid. So my sinus get pretty, moist, shall we say? It's good
>> for them, though. Anyhow, I'm rinsing off, as it were, and the
>> soap and shampoo is washing away. My nose was a little runny, not
>> like a bad cold, but just near that stage due to all the moisture
>> in the shower. Perfectly normal. right? So, as the soap is
>> running off, I instinctively sniffed. Wrong thing to do but it
>> has never happened before so how would I know not to do it? I
>> suddenly, and without warning, realized a soap bubble had formed
>> over my left nostril and that little sniff snuffed it right up the
>> old nose. My sinuses caught on fire. It felt like somebody
>> struck a match under my nose. Fire. I instantly began blowing
>> like a bull on the attack figuring that was the best way of
>> clearing my sinuses. No soap, I mean, no help. The fire spread
>> the harder I worked at clearing my nose. I really started praying
>> then. I felt the fire crawling up my sinuses, higher and higher,
>> and eventually, I have artificial eyes, my left eye, the socket of
>> the eye, burned like a forest fire. Now for those of you with
>> weak stomachs, skip this part. Not knowing what to do and being
>> in terrible pain, the Lord not seeming to answer my desperate
>> prayers, I popped my left eye out in hopes the pressure of the eye
>> in the socket would lessen the pain. Nope. It didn't help. My
>> eye socket burned like the worst sun burn you have ever
>> experienced. I started praying even harder. In fact, I was
>> begging. Fire. Help. I continued getting worse. Now, I have
>> had soap many times in my eyes, mouth, ears, or just generally on
>> sensitive skin where it burned. I won't get into any details
>> here. But I have never in my life, snorted a soap bubble up my
>> honker. Fire. Anyhow, it was about five minutes before my eye
>> and my nose began to stop burning. It took several more minutes
>> before it finally stopped. This was after a considerable amount
>> of blowing, too. So, take heed, because if you snort a soap
>> bubble, it burns like hell. Maybe the Lord was trying to teach me
>> something. About hell maybe?
