But it was another thing altogether to experience it.

There I sat on the commode with a head cold. I reared back and blew my nose for all I'm worth. My left sinus had a load I fully intended to capture in the shred of tissue I held. Unfortunately, it took a detour into my ear canal (the load not the tissue). I can't say I noticed where it ended up at the time. What I noticed is that the room started to spin like after a pint of ouzo. My first thought was "fascinating." Then I began to think, "I hope I don't fall off the toilet. That would be undignified."

But I still didn't know why the room was spinning, and it kept it up wobbling by as much as six inches! I was getting more than a bit woozy, and somewhat panicked. I began to wonder "Is this going to escalate? Is this the first throws of an aneurysm?" Talk about undignified. I could see the obituary... "he was found in the bathroom covered in vomit with his pants down and a soiled tissue in his hands." I began to have greater sympathy for Elvis.

Before I had time to begin whimpering, my left ear squeaked. Or was it more of a crunch/gurgle? Anyway, the ear canal opened back up and in no time the room went back to behaving as rooms should when you're not in college. It steadied up and the nausea went away.

Disaster averted, I went back to blowing my nose... very carefully.

I just thought you all would like to know.

I had an experience like that when I had a whole ice cube lodged in my throat. A little more tunnel vision though. After I managed to cough it up, it had simultaneously cut and frozen my throat at the same time. It was painful to talk for the rest of the day.

You drink Ouzo? Oh man, is that stuff rank. It's like liquid liquorice.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

The year was 1977. I was trying to wash the taste of disco and leasure suits out of my mouth.

I kind of fell off the toilet once, but the lid was down, my pants were on (for once), and I didn't fall completely off. I just sat down for a short rest, and my torso kept going until I was lying half across the tub. Then I couldn't sit up for a while, no matter how hard I tried.

Don't mix vodka and Valium, kids.
