Koohii stories:

1) [moojitsu] 5-10-2006(333): If you get a needle in your eye that is hooked in there, get to a hospital straightaway.

2) [zdude255] 20-3-2008(126): I caught a freaky creature with ten eyes on my fish hook, so I threw it back straightaway.

3) [lilpea] 26-7-2007(27): "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye"… and sit on a fish hook if I ever tell a lie! Slight variant on what kids say straightaway if their word is put in doubt.

4) [Christine_Tham] 22-7-2007(22): Ten eyes knew straightaway that there is something wrong with the hook.

5) [ttrent] 19-2-2008(17): The hook goes straightaway through the eye of a needle.
