SELTAEBS DEFINITION: A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!

I am sure I am not alone with this feeling. What purpose do they serve and I am referring to that cavity in our heads which fill up with all kinds of goodies which we affectionatly call "SNOT". Yes, it can be all colors, but you want the clear color. Any other color and you are in big trouble, cause now you have a sinus infection. Which means antibiotics, plus you feel like crap.

I still pose the questions, why, what's the purpose? All sinuses seem to do is fill up with "snot" and if the "Snot isn't removed in a timely manner on a regular basis it gets infected. Which lead me to the next question.

What is Snot? Well here comes Dictionary.com again: si·nus

SELTAEBS DEFINITION - A PAIN IN THE ASS!!

So now we have two (PIA's) and what good are they for?
1. They remind you that you breathe through your nose, especially when your nose is plugged with snot and can't move.

2. They remind you that there is another exit besides the nostrils and that's the throat.

3. They remind you that you are human and therfore not infallible.

4. They remind you.........I'm sure you can come up with more.:-)

Now that brings me to the next part of this little quandry. When the "SNOT " cannot exit through you nostrils it decides to exit through your throat which then cause your throat to tickle which causes you to cough, which causes you to wake up, and usually you are sleeping as this seems to happen when you are prone.

Which is why I am writing about this stupid subject cause that is what happened to me and I am no longer prone, or asleep because of................you guessed it, my little PIA. Sinuses!!
