Nose Blows

For some reason, I seem to get a pimple on the bridge of my nose every three months or so. There’s really no skin there, so I’m not sure how or why it wells up. It’s always impressive though.

This time it sort of resembles a volcano….

Like three days ago, though some sort of nasal plate tectonics, a major seismic event took place and the result was the formation of a Mini-Vesuvious on the island of Snozema. A team of vulcanologists from Cambridge flew in to study the rare occurrence.

Judging from the vertical height attained by the spires and the angry, oozing crater forming at the top, the experts have predicted a major eruption within the next 48 hours. Snozema villagers have been warned to evacuate south towards Chincinatti, or east and west towards Eary.

One local resident, Freckled Pore, from the Blackhead Forest region is refusing relocation. When asked why he would stay in the face of this eminent danger, Mr. Pore indicated that he’s survived three previous eruptions and lived to tell the tale.

“If you survive the great flood of white, viscous lava, you’ve got it made. Generally, it blows only once. Soon after, FEMA (Facial Emergency Management Assoc.) comes in with white, puffy cotton pillows and bubbly soap and scrubs the whole area clean. I could do without the astringent, however.”

This region was devastated back in January by the twin blasts from Pimple Petite and Pimple Gross, named after the famed French Vulcanologist Pierre Pimple, who lost his life after falling into one of the large impact craters created by the eruptions.

We only hope scientists can someday find a way to prevent these frequent eruptions before the region is left barren and scarred.
