picking on the rise....

Upon my travels through the internet I came across this article that made me think. Read it, try not to puke, and maybe it will change your point of view.

Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies. He says society should adopt a new approach to nose picking and encourage children to take it up. Dr Bischinger said: “With the finger you can get to places you just can’t reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. “And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system. “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine. “Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free.” —Ananova

So now that you have read the article and are convinced of the many wonderful aspects of nose picking, I thought that it would be good to provide a method, or a "how to", if you will, to nose picking. So here it is..a little taste of wisdom.

1. Don't do a snot rocket on the streets where other people are. These things have mind of their own and can fly anywhere. If you have to do one do it in a newspaper or something, just don't hit someone with it.

2. If you have to pick, make it as quick as possible. This is hard because if you don't get it, you have to go back and try try again, and each of those times you have to make it quick. and sometimes the more you try the farther it gets up there.

3. Where to wipe???? This is probably the toughest question to answer. You really have to try and find something that your never going to touch again, or somewhere where people can't reach it, I usually just do the sidewalk. You would be surprised at how many people try to wipe it on other people or on their seat. (another reason to look before you sit)

4. If someone catches you in the middle and says something. Ask if they have never picked before, and if they say no, then you know they are lying because, EVERYONE, yes, EVERYONE has picked their nose at some point. Even your mom.

5. If your around buddies and the boogar is big enough show it off, it's a trophy. This might not work for all groups but for those groups that like to have fun. hey, why not!

Well, I hope that you enjoyed this and are able to put into practice everything that I have taught here today, to make your nose picking experience oh so much more enjoyable!!
