As reported by a local newspaper.....
A man repairing a typewriter in Blitzer Ontario, was rescued by firefighters and ambulance attendants when one end of a high-tension spring on the machine sprang free and shot up his nose, connecting him firmly to the roller.

Matters were complicated when 'rescuers' accidentally tripped the automatic paper eject switch causing the man's nose to be stretched to a length of 24.6 inches* smashing the world record jointly held by Bob Hope, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Pinocchio.
* (the typewriter was set for legal size paper.)
After undergoing extensive reconstructive surgery the man exclaimed from his hospital bed that he will never get THAT close to a type- writer again because now he nose better.
The typewriter never did get fixed...
