Nose bleeds

Have you ever smelled petroleum jelly before?  Have you ever imagined what it would be like to smell it all day long?

I went to the doctor yesterday for the yearly physical.  I mentioned that I had a week in September with three (3!) twenty minute nose bleeds.  There is also a family history of nose bleeds (mother's mother's father).  I knew that she would recommend saline solution, so I started doing the nightly snorting of salt water again after the first nose bleed. 

I was not expecting the rest of the treatment.  After the saline solution, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly on the inside of your nose.  I will now be nightly smelling petroleum jelly as I fall asleep.
