>       Instructions for getting a cockroach out of your nose:

Actually the New England Journal of Medicine (or some such publication)
recently had an article on a similar subject, how to get cockroaches out of
your ears.  This apparently is a common problem in areas that have heavy
roach infestations.

They tested mineral oil, and some anaesthetic, I think lidocaine.  They
determined that the anaesthetic caused the roach to run out on its own and
escape across the floor, according to the article, whereas the mineral oil
required the roach to be pulled out with tweezers.
