(Not quite) Dying from Embarrassment

I’ve started using nasal strips when I go to bed now. Apparently in order to preserve my marital status one of us - me - needed to take some anti-snoring action.

Anyway, I have used these things for about a week and the results, I’ve been told, are favourable. The only problem I have is that, while they are sticky, they can come off during the night - like last night. I woke up this morning and tried to pull the strip off my nose, but it wasn’t there. I looked for it, but as I had slept in and was running late, I gave up my search quickly. So, I followed my daily (rushed) routine of shower, shave, dress and run out the door to get to work.

I had a meeting first thing in the morning and actually arrived in time to attend - with the other 8 people. During the meeting I couldn’t figure out why everyone kept looking at me funny; that is until I went to scratch the side of my neck. Yep, I found the nasal strip.
