Can everyone pick their own nose?

Seeing my baby attempt to pick her nose (:woman_facepalming:) made me wonder whether some people have fingers that are too fat to fit in their own nostrils, or do the two always scale together?

Since I doubt there are many peer-reviewed studies on this, let’s move it from GQ to IMHO.

The nose picker picks the nose of everyone who doesn’t pick their own nose. Does the nose picker pick their own nose?

You can pick your friends
And you can pick your nose
But you can’t pick your friend’s nose

Well, not when they’re looking…

Old joke: Why do gorillas have such big nostrils? Because they have such big fingers.

Say what now?!

Thanks for the laugh. But for those who don’t click on the link, the article mentions nose-picking because there are no genetic studies of it.

Actually, I did once… I quoted the adage afterward.

How many noses does a nose-picker know to pick if a nose-piker knows to pick noses?

Married people can always pick their noses because their finger will fit in their wedding ring and their wedding ring will fit up their nose. Why this is so still eludes me but their was some ‘peer reviewed’ work on this subject.

If they have enough money, yes. Every plastic surgeon has a catalog, and you can pick any nose you like.

What if you had no hands or arms? Hmm, probably a piece of cake for this young lady:

That was a bizarre thread. And I note that most of them were not able to fit their wedding rings up their noses. But what on earth is the ‘birth hole’ someone mentioned?

I have no intention of reading that whole thread to find out. But I probably will anyway.

Huh. Never heard of this before:

I think my ring is stuck in my nose. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks! I was wondering where it went

@racer72 delved too greedily and too deep…

Non-PC joke from my youth:

Q: How do you break an [ethnic group’s] finger?
A: Punch him in the nose!
