Imagine, if you will, that you got into a bar fight in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Imagine that bites are exchanged.

Imagine that one of those bites lands on your nose.

Imagine that your nose is then left looking like a downward-facing dong.

Imagine that your assailant is charged with mayhem.

Imagine that he apologizes from behind bars, saying, "I know that was the reason why it happened. If it wasn't for the alcohol it would've never happened."

Imagine accepting that apology, despite wondering, "Is it ever gonna look the same like I was before? I think that's my biggest worry."

Yes, Polly Snyder, that is a legitimate worry.
