ask if any of them have ever had a really bad migraine. Then tell them to take the absolute worse one they'e *ever* had and just keep doubling the pain until they think their head will explode, but only on the one side coupled with a snotty/stuffed up nose, a runnny/sore/puffed up eye - and, if they're really unlucky, a knife being stabbed into their head and they'll be somewhere close.
It worked for me (my dad suffers with migraine and my mum's had them in the past too).
If they haven't had migraines or any kind of severe pain to relate to, just ask them what's the onething that makes their nerves hang from their skin and change *that* into pain. It's never failed me yet.
