Why bananas and carrots?  I think the image of a python down the throat and
a ruby in each nostril seems much more exotic and interesting.  This attire
might even be considered attractive in some cultures.  If this were the
case, then perhaps it would be arguable that it really /isn't/ the OP's
fault, but rather society's for imposing unattainable standards of beauty
upon him.

Really Tim, you are _so_ culturally insensitive.
