To be filed under "How the hell did that get there?" Despite earlier protestations that I couldn't get Breathe Right Strips to stick, I have managed to make them work and they work well.
When they stay in place, anyway.
I woke up yesterday morning and went into the bathroom to get ready for my shower. As I'm wont to do in the morning, I began scratching at my chest at some imaginary itch. Dunno why. That's when I felt it. My Breathe Right Strip was stuck to my chest. I have no freakin' clue how, but it was there. Pretty firmly stuck, too.
I sure hope my pec slept well.
Got a meme for you in the extended post.
I got this from edenza. Have fun!

Looking at all the italics, I realize I need to get out more. But I also wonder if I've "never heard of them" because I'm not reading them properly. Pronunciation can be the key to understanding, right? Certainly makes ordering food easier.
