When in the course of human events

In summary: How does that make you feel?If you're just bragging, then hooray for you !And i thought this was going to be some meaningful post with a reference to Thomas Jefferson in it. I should have known better.I thought it was rather inventive. From your own admission it surprised you.The point of this thread is apparently to share experiences with strange noises coming from one's sinuses, but unfortunately this thread is mostly filled with people bragging about how weird and mysterious their noises are.

Well a minute ago I was singing a few lines of a song to myself--"California Babylon." It's a song that grows on you. But anyway, I looked it up on Google so I could post the lyrics here. But a funny thing happened...

I was singing "Three men standing and they love what they do.
You won't see it coming 'cause they want to surprise you
Consider it done, they're going to stand right by you
American punks don't care about you"

And I noticed that on the s's ("esses") a funny noise was coming from my sinuses. Kind of squeaky and scratchy, and reedy, a lot like chalk squeaking on a chalkboard. I held my nose and sang it again and there was no noise. Anyway. The noise is gone now.

I should clarify: this was not a normal squeaky sound, which has happened to me before. It was a genuine rasp from deep inside my sinuses. Something like a lisp, only higher and farther in.

What exactly is the point of this thread ? If you're worried about a growth in the sinuses (like a polyp, inflammatory or neoplastic), get a doctor to see you, preferably an ENT.

If you're just bragging, then hooray for you !
