My nose, my nose, it burns, it burns .....

I was eating a packet of salt and vinegar chips this afternoon and got down the chaff at the bottom of the packet. I tipped the packet up to get all those last tasty morsels. Unfortunately, there was a bump (suspiciously shaped just like a launching ramp) about halfway down the bag. Consequently, rather than slide conveniently down my gullet, the chaff spayed over my face. Now my eyes were closed exactly for this eventuality (hey, I'm not entirely stupid, you know!)but what I didn't anticipate was just how many bits were going to go up my nose.

There followed a salt and vinegar inspired sneezing/coughing/spluttering fit for about twenty minutes. The worst of it passed then but the sneezing continued intermittently for about another hour or so. I can still smell salt and vinegar, even as I write, some 9 hours later!
