ew, gross

Have you ever seen those shows about sick people who allow their nails or hair or other disgusting body parts to grow excessively, just to get into the Guiness Book of world records? You know what I'm talking about. And we're all thinking, "who are these people"?! And then you start to wonder, "how long, exactly, whould I allow something to grow on my body before my gag reflex was tested?" Well I can now answer that question: 1/4 inch. A normal, well-adjusted, human being with good hygeine will only allow 1/4 inch. You see, I have this awful mole on my arm (really just looks like a little freckle, but I hate it). It has a hair growing out of it that seems to have a mind of it's own. I noticed it getting a little long (I'm already testing your gag reflex with this storty, aren't I?). I thought, for one brief moment, what if I let it grow...how long would this thing actually get? I went three more days, out of curiosity. And once it reached about 1/4 inch I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted to throw up every time I saw it. It seemed to be staring back at me and daring me to keep it going. No deal! I yanked it out, root and all. Hurt like hell, but it's gone. Who are these disgusting people who can just let these things go?!! 1/4 inch is definitely more than acceptable. That's my limit. (gross)
