The air spaces in the nose aren’t connected to the eye like some sort of meaty spud gun, so there’s no way a sneeze or puffing up your cheeks and then smacking them can create the pressure needed to force your eyes out of their sockets and make them dangle around like the ball in a game of swingball. In fact, your eyes closing is a reflex that some people can overcome, and all have gone on to live full eyeball-in-head lives. You can vomit so hard that your eye lenses come out, but we’ll leave that for another book.47
