This morning I saw a straight pin in a urinal. Immediately, imaginations of painful ways in which it could have found its way there began to slice through my mind. While some people develop kidney stones and suffer the excruciating passing of those stones, are a select few pinned to forge stainless steel mini-swords in their organs? Do they pass head first or point first? The hilt or the blade? Regardless, I winced at the thought.
