      Je me suis leve en reniflant à toute berzingue pour foncer aux chiottes et là, mon nez s’est mis à pisser comme jamais, il n’arrêtait pas de dégouliner, il y avait du sang partout, sur le miroir, sur ma chemise, sur le rouleau de serviette automatise, sur le carrelage, et mes narines faisaient de grosses bulles rouges.
