| 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.

No, that would be "Helen Thomas Bares All for Swine Farmers Weekly."
Hey Bacon, didn't you used to write for that magazine?

Whoa, it's so cool to be browsing through a thread and see where somebody else posted one of my graphics. This must be how Registered feels all the time, LOL.I saw that on one thread some time ago, copied the properties and then freepmailed some other freeper. He/she had no idea what I was talking about. Felt sort of silly. Thanks.

I've got a little wire brush attachment for my Dremel tool. Talk about clean nostrils....

Actually, the poem goes:
You can pick your friends,
and you can pick your nose,
but you can't wipe your friends on your clothes!
(I truly can't believe I'm reading this thread.)

End of "Another Brick in the Wall" - there's a schoolmaster type yelling in a thick Yorkshire accent, "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"

I don't even want to BEGIN to consider that possibility. Mr. Bird's apple post put me off my feed. :)

Off your feed or off your feet?
I think my hubby was starting one of those things, he used to drop them between the bed and the wall (the bed was pushed against the wall). I should show him this article so he can see what he is missing.

I'm glad I could add to the discourse. I hadn't actually pondered the old "booger ball" story in years. Still makes the old gag reflex kick in.

I pick, therefore I am.
