Hmm, well, without wanting to making you laugh at things utterly unrelated to my writing attempt, I think that Julie probably requires nerves of steel.

Nerves of steel
"You must have nerves of steel, Bill," said the gynacologist's assistant as he pulled another gnome free and dropped it into a tall glass jar with vaselined insides that stopped them from climbing out. "Those little buggers carry all kinds of diseases and they're inventive too from what I hear tell."
Bill grunted suddenly and Julie screamed as his entire body was jerked forward and his arm disappeared up to the elbow.
"They've got me!" he yelled, his voice rising an octave as he realised his predicament, "and I think they're trying to drag me in!"

Greg - I... I can only shake my head in your general direction.

And I *swear* I'm not laughing my ass off right now.
