To ask if Anyone else fears

Having their eye gouged out by a rogue cork?

Pretty sure it's a urban myth (like spiders laying eggs at bottom of bananas) but I cover my eyes just in case

I once opened a bottle of prosecco on a long train ride to Cornwall. The cork flew off the bottle and bounced about the carriage like it was possessed, off the windows, other peoples tables etc. I was mighty worried about it gouging other peoples eyes out.

A friend of mine pulled a crok straight into her voicebox. Her voice went up an octave for a week afterwards.
