Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

(Annanova) 3/26/04- 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."

He pointed out that children happily pick their noses, yet by the time they have become adults they have stopped under pressure from a society that has branded it disgusting and anti social.

He said: "I would recommend a new approach where children are encouraged to pick their nose. It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea as well."

And he pointed out that if anyone was really worried about what their neighbour was thinking, they could still enjoy picking their nose in private if they still wanted to get the benefits it offered.

You can pick your nose….. You can pick your friends….. But, you can’t pick your friends nose…. !

Breaking medical news out of Austria today.
Keeping the immune system strong in a whole new way.
From your nose you pick it.
But don’t you dare flick it.
Because, a booger a day keeps the doctor away.

"Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it!"

My friend, dost thou not know that you have witnessed two of the funniest lines in the history of man?

Ich bin ein boogereater

I pick, I do not eat. This makes me socially ungraceful, yet only moderately disgusting.

I drew many on odd glance at the office from my ceaseless laughter.

A true gentleman does not pick, but only eats those morsels that fall naturally into his lap.

She saves hers as Royal tasties!

I believe these are referred to by liberals as "free-range".

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.

What about the wet remains? If you harvest a particularly juicy sample, do you have to cure it first?

Henry Waxman is probably the healthiest person in Washington. His nostrils are so big he could get a cleaning crew up there.

You are, in fact, correct. A family of immigrants resides in his left nostril, leaving the right one free for important Congressional stuff.

Brings a whole new meaning to the old Hee-Haw line about Pickin' and grinnin' ...

[nuconvert]

The way I heard it:

You can pick your nose,

And you can pick your friends

But you can't wipe your friends on the couch.
