1. As long as you continue twitching . . .
It's unlikely you're actually dead.

2. You're not going to die NOW
I wouldn't get my hopes about LATER, though, if I were you.

4. I'm fine...it's just that...
I just bought some slightly under-ripe bananas, and I want to live to eat them.

You'll only wish you were dead.

6. Death is merely a doorway
but if your eyelid keeps twitching you'll probably just run into the jamb and bloody your nose.

I'd wait for the twitching to stop before starting on the death thing.

Khash.

10. Any uncontrollable outbursts of invective, lately? Could be Tourette's.
Just kidding. Try massaging along the nerve that supplies feeling to that area.

11. Are you kidding?
If it weren't for uncontrolable bursts of invective, I'd have nothing to say at all!

15. Are you sure you're from Canada?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess...

12. A sinus infection is causing my eyes to twitch
Awful thing. This one was a doozy, too. Got some goood meds this time!

And no, I don't think you will die now either.

13. But seriously, folks,..that can be really annoying. It can be caused
by a calcium or magnesium deficiency. Not threatening, just a nuisance. So try drinking some milk, and/or taking calcium. I find that about 500mg. of magnesium does a lot for me. Hope it clears.

14. Mine did that for a while...
...it finally stopped when the eye fell out. (But I definitely didn't die, so hold on to those bananas.)
