It reads naturally in terms of grammar, but it's quite peculiar in terms of content. CJ

Thanks, CJ!

I read somewhere that the dry wind in the desert causes frequent nosebleeds, so I based my sentence on that.

Would you like me to find a better comparison?

The comparison isn't the problem. It's the boss giving nosebleeds. How does he do that? Why does he do that? What is dry about the boss? I couldn't figure it out.
