Who Nose?

.
Patrick Cleverman first lost his nose as the result of a blast fired from a shotgun during a 1968 drive-by shooting in Podney, West Virginia.
Cosmetic surgeons however, were able to reattach the nose...
As a rule, most noses aren't worth all that much if they've tangled with a Remington 12 gauge loaded with double-ought shot.
... which remained firmly on Cleverman's face; that is until another, more recent and quite unexpected incident occurred.
It must have been a chore finding all the parts, sorting them out, then gluing them back together again before anything spoiled.
Sound asleep in a chair in his apartment at the time, he told police that he was suddenly awakened when an unknown assailant entered the room and punched him smack in the middle of his rebuilt nose...
The assailant was later identified as Ms. Cleverman who, unable to sleep for 3 days, was sick and tired of Patrick's incessant snoring.
... knocking it clean off his face...
Whereupon the snoring promptly stopped...

********************
During an interview from the local hospital's isolation ward, Cleverman expressed mixed emotions regarding the loss of his proboscis.

The bad news is that he will have to purchase contact lens because his glasses keep falling off. Also, he can no longer take his daily snuff.

On the other hand, his snoring has stopped, he no longer gets hay fever, and he is now able to blow smoke rings said to rival those of the powerful Wizard of Middle-Earth, Gandalf The Grey!

As a final observation he admitted that despite all the fuss and trouble, he is grateful to his wife because after being extensively counseled by hospital staff, he now realizes that... "No nose is good nose."
