(Sterilised) sharps are used to pin stuff to my styrofoam surfboard papier-mâché palette; blunts (in this case, orange syringe caps) are used to provide a nice soft edge to the holes through which the washing line passes. Syringes have been used for feeding orphaned baby birds and adult bird resuscitation after they fly into the window…and once, to inject vodka into an orange.
@mustard: My syringes refuse to say a word when fingering them; when you make them suck at your tongue, you get a sound a foley artist might categorise as “pixie champagne bottle is opened”.
