Man sneezes out toy wedged in nose for 44 years
When Steve Easton was about seven years old, his parents noticed that the suction cup was missing from one of his toy darts, and they were worried he had inhaled or swallowed it.
So they took him to the hospital, but doctors couldn't find anything. Yet for decades, he's suffered from sniffles and headaches he thought were a result of allergies.
Now, more than four decades later, it turns out his childhood doctors were wrong, the Guardian reports. In what must have been a powerful sneezeaccompanied by what he calls "a very uncomfortable sensation"the suction cup emerged from a 51-year-old Easton's nose.
"I started a sneezing fit and it came out of my left nostril, the British man says. I thought, 'Whats this? Where the hell has this come from?' and pulled out this rubber sucker." Easton called his mom, who told him about the hospital visitwhich he had apparently forgotten.
Doctors at the time said perhaps she was mistaken about her son inhaling the suction cup, she notes. "I knew it wasnt [a mistake] and its always worried me, and now it has suddenly shot out. We are all shocked." Easton's current doctor doesn't think the dart caused any problems.
It did, however, become a good conversation piece, and Easton toted it around for a while before he threw it away, the BBC reports. As for his nose, "it doesn't feel any

I'm sure it did!
The older you get, the bigger your nose gets. Thus the cure...LOL
Or....The more lies you tell, the bigger the nose gets.....
Interesting
A little yucky but interesting - I wonder if it is too late for his mom to sue the doctor for malpractice those many years ago
Yark.
It definitely has a YUCK factor!!
When I was a kid, I walked out of my Grandma's back door to see my Grandpa on his hands and knees in the back yard. I went over to him and asked him if he was ok, and was there anything I could do to help... Grandpa had sneezed his teeth out, and was scrabbling around, trying to find them!
Yep, this has a definite yuk factor, but the guy is lucky that he is finally, maybe, going to get relief from those "allergies". I am almost envious! Allergies have been brutal this year!
bf....I'm not even going to ask where you found it!!!
I hope grandpa found his teeth!
ROFLOL......
My grandmother sneezed her teeth across the room at least once a week. It almost always happened when there was a house full of company. She never could figure out why the chair across from hers at thedining table was always empty. I once told her that the empty seat was for good luck, and would help her digestion. She looked mesquare in the faceand said, "You're full of shit."A pip-and-a-half at 93, she was.
OMGThat is just too funny....thanks for sharing it !!
I can just imagine the conversations, all with profoundly English accents, of course. What a dope.
He did-- he started using Fixadent after that! Bless him!
How funny! She sounds like someone I would have enjoyed meeting!
Why would anyone "tote" around a suction cup from a toy that came out of his nose ?That's just nasty!!
She sounds like someone I would have enjoyed meeting!
Me too!!
Has anyone ever noticed that, as long as one speaks in a British accent, the most cruddy things sound not at all cruddy, and even actually intelligent?
It would sound so much better coming from someone from Britain, than someone from, say, the Deep South-- "Lookit what come outta mah nose!"

Well, I tried to write it like I would say it... EW!

Aw, shucks, ma'am!
