1. The cut on his heel won't heal in time for the race, so he'll have to drop out.

2. The man was so upset about being bald that he regularly balled himself up on the bed and bawled his eyes out.

3. I couldn't sense any of the scents in the flower shop, because for some strange reason I had 50 cents crammed up my nose.
