I hate having anything over my nose and mouth, ever since I was seven years old and they clapped that awful black rubber mask over my face at the Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital.

I was getting my tonsils out.

Ah the good, old days. When parents couldn’t be in the room and nurses put you in the closet if you cried.

Tonsils.
They had a tuff bringing me out of the anesthesia. Back then they used ether. (count backward from a hundred)
I woke up in an oxygen tent.

I can’t use that excuse too often with my better angel, as it will lose effectiveness.
