First it was people who didn't wash their hands in the bathrooms.

Now this?

I am buying a lifetime supply of rubber gloves.

Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner."

This is nothing to sneeze at.

[Mr. Bird]

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

[xJones]

Is it true that you are what you eat?

King, this is shaping up as a vintage day....

[suzyq5558]

[dighton]

Rhinotillexomania.

[skeeter]

My sister will be tickled pink to hear this.

[mountaineer]

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

My stomach churned mightily when I read this line. Auggghhh.

Giant boogers are sometimes mistaken for ectoplasm.

[FlJoePa]

Everybody's doing it..
Doing it..
Doing it..

Picking their nose and eating it..
Eating it..

You may think it's funny but it's snot.

[the OlLine Rebel]

OMG!

OK, picking is bad enough - but EATING it?

Wow, I never knew my erstwhile childhood friend Stacy was onto something........

[IYAS9YAS]

Twenty bucks says the Smells kid picks his nose.

[Spyder]

Dang, I saw the title and was convinced someone had a photo of Howard Dean mining for boogers or sucking his finger.

[Musket]

This is one of the most disgusting threads ever. I'd rather go out in the yard and eat a spoonful of dirt.

[Maceman]

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.

Maybe they should at least be encouraged to do it discreetly, when no one is watching?

When I was a kid, there was this one unabashed booger-eater in my class whose public indulgence in the habit made him the brunt of all kinds of hostility from classmates. He never was able to overcome his social outcast statue as a "booger-eating spaz."

The poor kid was so tormented and oppressed by his grossed-out peers that he never got over it, with the result that he grew up to be an ACLU lawyer, a university law professor and the author of several published leftist screeds on the oppression of minorities (no kidding).
