    When I was 5, I had a contest with my neighbors to see who could get the most macaroni up our nose. I won the contest and couldn't get it all out.

    I had to go to the emergency room to get it all removed. Not sure how many I did get up there...but I won anyways!

    My daughter bets people she can stick a quarter up her nose. She wins every time, not that anyone would want a snotty quarter returned.

    There is one great video at youtube showing someone sticking a mobile phone up his nose. Amazing.
    Cant find it now to post the link.

    Cooked or raw spaghetti? Because, raw I can see. But I can't imagine how kids would get cooked spaghetti up their nose?

    Jennifer: One good sniff will do it. Not that I have first hand experience or anything...

    My little sister had severe, chronic ear infections as a little kid and so my mother was really in tune to the little changes in behavior that indicated my sister was going to develop a new infection. One day my sister was really tugging at her ear and complaining of pain. So my mother rushed her to the pediatrician's office. The doctor peers into my sister's ear with his otoscope and starts chuckling. Turns out my sister had a blue sequin stuck her ear canal. LOL!

    In Kindergarten someone had brought in a bunch of Pussy Willow Pods (flowers?); any how they looked and felt like little pieces of bunny rabbit to me: nice an soft, emmm. Well somehow one ended up my nose; think I was trying to make little Jonny Francis laugh. Well I couldnt get it out, was afraid to tell anyone...
    It was several days later that Ma looked up Me nose to see what was irritating me so much. She forced me to blow it out finally. Can still smell and taste that pussy willow! And feel the whack to the side of my head too.

    When I was in my "I'm going to be a sideshow performer" days I used to suck spaghetti up my nose on various occasions. The trick is to get it to come out of your mouth. I remember also attempting this with floss, but I sneezed and the floss came out of the other nostril. What the heck was I thinking?
