I can see how that could be a problem for "the man of steel," but a regular human?

Reminds me of when working in the ER we had a father bring his 4 year old son in who had put a small plastic vacuformed train into his nose. The Physician was able to get it out after he found a forcep small enough to grab hold of it. Fast forward 8 hours and a very sheepish father comes into the ER. Same dad, we ask him if his son is alright and he says yes he is fine, then when asked what was the problem he admits that after he got home from the hospital with his son he was looking at the plastic toy (they got it in a crackerjacks box) and wondered just how his son could get it into his nose. So he puts it into his own nose and sure enough it gets too far back for him to get it out. The reason for the 8 hour wait was he thought if he waited that long there would be a different shift on and he wouldn't see the same MD who had taken the toy out of his sons nose. Didn't realize that they worked 12 hour shifts. When we got it out this time he was asked if he wanted it back and he said that he never wanted to see it again. Went on our board of things taken out of people.
