Is that a pink shower curtain behind the Dr. or is that very tragic wall paper?

What happened to his upper lip?

“Wilbur, just cause you’re handicapped doesn’t mean you have to sit around on Jackson Street all day being pitiful. You could at least volunteer for the Special Olympics or something.”

“I earned this nostril,” Wilbur told me, “and I’m gonna use it.”

Besides, two years ago we tried to put Little Wilbur in the Special Olympics, but they said he was the only single-nostriled person they’d ever had and they didn’t have anybody to compete against him.

“That just shows you,” he said, “the prejudice of the full-nosed population at large.”

I told Wilbur it would be different if his nostril got shot off in Vietnam or something, but he was a natural one-nostril man and so . . .

“There are plenty of cocaine-head Hollywood producers with nostrils worse than mine!” he interrupted. “They could have put them in the Special Olympics.”

“Wilbur, cocaine-head Hollywood producers can’t use a table fork, much less a discus.”

Wilbur snorted.

“Please don’t do that again,” I told him. “That’s the one thing you can do that grosses me out.”

I suppose that would simplify basic nasal hygiene.

It could also snag you the Boris Karloff Award for Disturbing Facial Events.

I hear it’s very competitive.
