I just accidentally ate a pube

I thought I was eating nostril hair. Truthfully, that's not a good reason, is it?

Time to go to bed I think.

As long as it was your own or your lover's, we all might be guilty of that from time to time. If not... well....

You are supposed to floss after eating.

I was sitting at the computer naked, and pulling out long nostril hairs and eating them (I assume you probably shouldn't do this but no one has actually ever told me not to).

Anyhow somehow with the nakeness, my not concentrating on hands, and not thinking I ate one of my own pubes and only realised when it was too late.

Feh. My Wife is a very conservative woman. If there were any health dangers from swallowing pubic hair, I would have been dead twenty years ago.

I don't think what's called for here is more schooling so much as more dictionaries- you know how those things on your scalp aren't called heads? Same deal here. The 'pube' isn't the hair, it's what the hair grows on.

"Pube" is used for pubic hair in the parlance of today.

Maybe he should try to get on one of those reality shows, like the woman who eats dryer sheets.

I don't want to get detailed, but you're the source. (you, generic plural)

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's not as though you've just dropped your standards, or anything.

You know, you've just shared with us behavior that, in all likelihood, isn't likely to be replicated by anyone anywhere. So, erm, thank you for that.

I'm going to go ahead and ask the questions on everyone's mind: do you have curly nostril hairs? And aside from texture, did the two hair types taste different?

They have all the great taste of actual boogers, but with less calories! And sodium!

If you habitually eat nose hairs, do you find the accompaning mucus to be too high in sodium content?

Are you implying semen? If so, I'm glad I'm with a woman that enjoys ingesting it and doesn't think of it as a "worse thing".
