I have this friend who is afraid of cotton balls.  She claims that they're "disgusting".

She wanted to look at my Lact-Aid, so she opened up the bottle.  She saw a cotton ball inside... and jumped up.  "Ewww! Cotton balls!"

I've never seen this strange behaviour before.  Most unusual.

Cotton balls are apparantly "itchy" and "weird".  It was enough to scare her out of her chair and jump up and run to the other side of the room until I promised to hold it away.

"Awww! I hate cotton balls!  They're so gross!"

I should bring her to cotton ball shopping... http://shopping.msn.com/marketplace.aspx?pmpType=1&pcId=8414&catId=1018

I wonder what she'd do if I set that page to her startup page on her Mac.  (ugh.)
