Hello there, dear reader! I’m your friendly neighborhood nose, and today I want to talk to you about allergies. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Allergies? Ugh, that sounds terrible!” But hear me out — allergies can actually be pretty funny. Yes, you read that right — funny! So grab a tissue, and let’s dive into the world of allergies.

Let’s talk about the joys of allergies. For starters, have you ever seen someone try to discreetly rub their nose while trying to have a serious conversation? It’s hilarious! They’ll be nodding along, making eye contact, and then all of a sudden, their nose starts itching and they have to do the “nose-rub wiggle dance”. It’s like watching a live action version of the Hokey Pokey.

And don’t even get me started on the sneezing. Sure, it can be annoying when you’re in a quiet movie theater or trying to have a conversation with someone, but let’s be real — sneezes are hilarious. They come out of nowhere and they’re so loud and dramatic. Plus, have you ever seen someone try to hold in a sneeze? It’s like watching a fish out of water — they contort their face and make all sorts of weird noises.

But the best part of allergies? The excuse to eat ice cream. Hear me out — when you have allergies, your nose gets all stuffy and you can’t really taste anything. So what do you do…
