>> 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

>> 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?
