You need to cut noseverylittle a bit of slack here. I would never divulge a confidence as a rule but I will just tell you only because I am sure this secret is safe with you.
Nosevery little used to have a very handsome even Romanesque nose gracing his aristocratic face until one day while waiting to fill his Harley at a Bali petrol station, he saw somebody whip out a mobile phone and quick as a flash he dived to save a cute little kitty who was eating at an offering tray on an adjacent pump. It was the day when all things mechanical are blessed even his Harley had an offering tied to it's handlebars, but I digress. There was a massive explosion and bits of the guy with the mobile phone were sliding down the window of the handy little convenience store/petrol station. Luckily it was a quiet day and there were no other casualties.
Nosevery little saved the little kitty and took it home to love and nurture but sadly as he slid on his belly accross the forecourt his nose took the brunt of the gravel rash and was reduced to half it's normal size after some restorative cosmetic surgery at ARC clinic.
Strangely, although the Harley was blown to bits, unrecognisable little bits, my friends, fragments only, the handlebars with the offering tray still intact survived the blast and have in fact been preserved to this day as a shrine to the bravery of one man.
The little kitty lived a long and productive life with many litters but never, never ate from an offering again.
