It did sting when it first went in. After that it didn't bother me. Several years ago Susan my wife was with me when I got stuck. The fly was buried. I asked her to help me get it out because I couldn't get a good grip on it. She took one look at it and said: "I'm not touching that." So today when I got home I showed her my finger with the fly still in it. I knew what she would say: "I'm not helping with this one either." We both laughed. "Maybe Life is just a memory. We come. We see. We go." Angelina Jordan: What Is Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv0r77KN7RA
