Once I was
playing catch with my cousin around the table, and a long one got
trapped in my hair. It was the most traumatic experience ever. I
recall my grand mother having to slap my leg to calm me down. I went
crazy ...


Reminds me of a similar traumatic/yucky moment years ago when a friend of
mine took me fishing for the first (and last) time. He'd brought some real
live maggots. Horrible things. I couldn't bare to touch them so was using
a tissue to pick them up and skewer them onto the hook. However, I slipped
and skewered the maggot to my finger! There was a brief panic moment
seeing the maggot writhing and attached to my finger before I composed
myself enough to 'carefully' pull out the hook/maggot from my finger. Yuk!

I thought anglers held maggots in their mouths.
