Ok, that's a great use of Legos.  I only got them stuck up my nose....  There IS a better use!

Oh my..  Memories of a rush trip to the doctors due to having a lego stuck in my ear are going to plague me for the rest of the night.

Thanks.

Funny my having been a preschool teacher is coming up in two topics:
I had one child who was that typical "put things in every orifice on your face" kids (3 or 4 years old).  I was subbing in his class, and found out about his behavior... so I (thought) I move anything he could get ahold of away from him before nap time.  The kid some how found a crayon, broke it, and shoved it all the way up his nose.  Then he panicked and tried to get it out, and shoved it further up his nose.  I heard him start to cry and go over, there was actually a bulge in his nose where the crayon was.

At the time, it wasn't funny at all, but looking back, it was pretty hilarious.

My daughter when  4 or 5 managed to shove a giant bead up her nose... my wife freaked luckily it had a hole through it for threading.. so after some work rotating it i managed to get it out...   was not funny at the time but we have had many laughs since...

It works for IE users also now. You just need the proper player for the video.
