Picking your nose and eating it yes/no

[Duty]

I know I have. Thoughts?

[Jehanne]

I confess.

[Rev. Rye]

First part yes. Second part, Fuck no.

I remember once - I was at a stoplight at a long light. I was in the left turn lane closest to the centerline. There was a car next to me with a good looking woman - prefessional attire, hair and makeup - and another car in the next ( right through lane) with a guy driving - and he was watching - as I was - the woman doing a bit of nasal mining - little finger up to the second knuckle - staring straight ahead, oblivious to the world. The dude is laughing his ass off - as am I - and we both start making mocking nose picking gestures - laughing like loons.....

Light changed - she drove off completely unaware of the amusement she' d provided. 

It still makes me chuckle.

Well at least we have something interesting to discuss.

Try this on for size then AWTY - as with biting (somewhat dirty) fingernails, ingesting particulates captured in the nasal cavity probably leads to having a more healthy army of comprehensive anti-bodies in the immune system than there would be for a more....sterile individual. As Iain M Bank put it in Transition: "yum, chewy and salty!"

[brewer]

Pick yes, but just look at it then flick or wipe.

No, you can't look under my chair.

For the record, I haven't done the OP deeds since childhood, despite the hypothesised immune system benefits, just saw it happen the other day and thought "hmmmmmmm."

As the old rhyme goes: "don't pickle your nose, nose is meant for blows."
