What
one screams in agony when
one's eyes feel like needles.
Often shouted hysterically when hydrochloric
acid, potassium permanganate, nitric acid, citric acid or some caustic or industrial chemical enters your eyes, and you can't help but scream in pain.
Greg Gregorius (after squirting orange
juice in his eye): My eyes! They feel like needles!
Me: Here, let me gouge them out for you with this plastic
spoon.
Greg: No, I'm quite
fine, thanks.
