I have an assortment of red and plum-colored shirts
that has evolved owing to circumstances such as this.

Any number of things can cause me nosebleeds - allergies,
too dry, too moist, too hot, too cold, a spike in blood
pressure, what have you. Once they turned the A/C on the
plane while we were taxiing out, and I got a gusher,
whereupon one of the flight attendants ran up and asked
if we should abort the takeoff and send me back, but I
reflected on the thought of 200 people hating me forever,
so I said, just give me an ice pack and I'll be fine. At a
concert a couple months ago I was tuning up the orchestra
and someone sneaked up on stage behind me and gave me a big
old hug, and my nose started running like a blood faucet.
And yesterday in the shower I snuz from the floral scent
from either the shampoo or the soap, and it looked like the
scatter from a shotgun blast. Life is fun.

That's somewhat closer, but the other thing is that the clay pot
is somewhat porous, which alters the cooking characteristics a bit.
