Nose Ring Hazards

First of all, for those of you who didn't know I have a nose piercing, I do. If you have any questions refer to this post. :) Thank you.

There are a few different types of nose rings. I have used the following:

Nose Bone

Nose Screw

I'm currently wearing a nose screw like the ones shown above. This type comes in two pieces. The peg with the gem and then rubber "screw". See below:

This information is necessary so you can get a nice visual to go with my story. It was just a few days ago that I was sitting at the computer enjoying a bowl of oatmeal and my morning Rockstar and felt my nose ring was a little loose. I touched the gem and it fell onto the desk so I stuck my finger up my nose to get the rubber screw out. Gross, but, necessary. :) It wasn't there so I started to look around on the desk and on my shirt and in my shirt and around the floor around me. It was nowhere to be found. Then swallowing all of a sudden felt weird. I tried to swallow and then tried again. I figured I'd try to cough up whatever it was that was in there. After a forceful "ACK!!" the rubber screw was in my mouth. I had somehow snorted it up without even knowing. What a fun adventure for that little nose screw! There is no moral to this story. I just thought it was gross and funny all in one so I thought I'd share.
