Quote from Kirk in Secrets & Loans
Kirk: Well, I checked under the entire house. Lorelai: And? Kirk: You have termites. Lorelai: What? Kirk: Tens of thousands of them. Subterranean, drywood, the whole gamut. Rory: Gross. Kirk: Four of them crawled up my nose. Lorelai: Okay, Kirk. Kirk: It happens all the time when you're upside down. To them, the nostril looks like another hollow passage in the wood. They're not too bright.
