Picking your nose and eating it.

Taken literally, “begs the question” in this context, as I delivered it, is OK :wink:

Dude, there’s really nothing else you CAN say if you don’t eat your own boogers. Most people don’t do that.

Why WOULD you, when it’s so much fun to roll it into little projectiles and flick it?

How about assjam, wendigo1974; you ever sneak a finger full just after you wake up, or are you in denial?

Never come across AssJam before.
Is that a little bit like faeces?

Why would I would want to eat poop, same reason I don’t drink piss I suppose.
No denial chum. Although there are more than a few people in this world who do drink and eat said things.

Not saying it’s right, but I’m sure as heck not saying it’s wrong for them to do it.

Although I do eat ‘sleep’ and eye gunk, I do draw the line at belly button excretia.
That stuff just smells nasty.

Uh huh.

What’s the difference between eating it and snuffling mucus up your nose and swallowing it?

Why is this thread still in the wrong forum…

There is such a thing as “tissue paper”…

The stuff you can do that with is generally fresh, clean and fluid, not old, dried-up and crusty with dust, bacteria and other crap you’ve been inhaling.

It isn’t; there is, in fact, a factual question in the OP which has been addressed. It is, however, somewhat more disgusting then the typical GQ, I’ll give you that.

Well, much more fluid, yes, but I doubt it’s dust and bacteria free unless one has been holding one’s breath for a while.

More importantly, why do I keep returning to this thread?

Food for thought. :smiley:

And no I do not consume. And there is no denial on my part either.

Agreed, but would it not be true that the liquid fluid mucous in your throat and nose is pretty much on a continuum with the dried up pickable stuff in terms of the amount of dirt/bacteria etc in it?

Probably. Where’s the line between what’s “clean enough” to swallow and what’s not? Damifino, but I’d like to think I haven’t crossed it. I’m sure the stuff I’ve snorked in and swallowed is at least cleaner than the crap one might pick out of one’s nostrils.

Pick, yes. Eat, never. Likewise with scabs, sun peel, etc.

The Thais freely pick their noses in public like there’s no tomorrow. Helps explain why they consider shaking hands to be unclean. They always cover their mouth when picking their teeth, though.

Come on, people. There’s nutritious pollen entombed in snot, as everyone well knows.

You think it’s candy? It’s snot.

And with this unoriginal pun, I kill the thread.

And the world rejoiced.

Agreed. However, those participating in this thread who say they are not in denial, may not be in denial about never having picked their nose and eaten snot, but they are if they think they haven’t swallowed snot with bacteria etc in it to some degree. And if they’ve ever tongue kissed, they’ve swallowed some of someone else’s snot with bacteria etc in it, too.
