I've got a spot on my nose!

Has anyone else ever noticed that when you have a spot on your nose other people seem to think that you're blind to the fact? "Hey Paul, you've got a big spot on your nose," I keep getting told. "Thanks very much," I say, "I hadn't noticed it shouting and waving at me from the bathroom mirror this morning." What am I doing getting spots at my age anyway? Incidentally, we call them 'plooks' here in Scotland.

Plooks, eh? We call them zits around here!
Good luck with that sucker!

Thanks, Gus. It's not so angry now. The problem was trying to leave it alone - I knew it was there, it was sore, and poking it with my finger was not going to help it get better, yet I had this urge to keep touching it. Funny how a spot can eclipse all the other troubles in your life. Especially when you work with kids, as I do. They might not say anything, but they stare!

Next time one of the lil angels is STARIN', ask them if they'd like to CHEW IT OFF - that you'd give them a QUARTER!

(hopefully they won't want to - ha ha!)

I have had my share of all kinds of things on my face - it will go away!!!
