“Better than a sharp stick in the eye” is a useful adage. “I had to wrestle a frozen turd away from my beagle, but it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye,” you might say. “My breakfast burrito tastes disconcertingly gamey, but it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye,” you might also say.

This happened to me the other week, I had to touch my tooter to even out the pain...
Tough it out.

Oops, sorry...........Meant Ice PACK...............
Milk!
That seems extreme 😂
I somehow scratched my eye in October.... was 4 trips to the eye doctor, a bunch of eye drops... Cost me over $1,000.... but was fine in about 2 weeks.
TMI.
Milk. and, nope, not gonna do it.
Whew. Good thing I kept scrolling.

“Ice pick...”
You must be one tough guy!
Could have used an image warning too.
I do think an ice pick would make you forget about the pain from the spicy food in your eye.
Just wait til the burn in your Other Eye when that hot sauce comes out.
Milk is also the antidote if a spitting cobra gets you in the eye.
It’s what they aim for.
I remember reading about this happening in the Indian bush, and they didn’t have milk except for the lactating lady. I’m serious, she saved his eye. I am not drinking nor have I injected any reefers, this really happened. Now I’m going to have to find this story...
“Ice pick...”
This deserves a place in the Freeper Hall of Fame right next to “hugh” and “series”.
