A little embarrassing to say, but you know how sometimes you get a pimple or a boil on the part of your back you can’t reach or even see in a mirror, or maybe it’s down even lower, on the upper reaches of your backside, and because you can’t reach it very well it stays and turns redder and uglier every day, to the point where it ceases to be annoying and becomes actually painful, even momentarily maddening if you let yourself think about it for a second? VDB hates it when that happens. Only one thing to be done, of course: lance it.
