haha, that was me... i was curious to see whether a rock stuck to the bottom of my friend's shoe smelled like feet (rather scientific for a five year old, no?) and i took too much of an enthusiastic whiff while holding this very particularly shaped rock near my nose. it's not like i had to get surgery or anything - it just wasn't coming out on its own!

Perhaps that is the aspect left open to interpretation, but would you really be rushing a kid with an obstructed nostril to a doctor's office as a completion? Anyone have a small (and cooperative) child handy?
EDIT: Apparently the preceding comment discussion about someone's memory of shoving something up their nose as a kid was removed. I promise in context I did not sound like someone who assumed everyone has a stock memory of severe rhino-obstetrics in their childhood, or alternately someone who enjoyed assaulting small children in tasks.
