I don’t buy this. It implies that if one was ever (Og forbid) to, uh, “repatriate” a booger, it would become a nonbooger.
My take on boogeristics is that the condition of peak operating efficiency of the intranasal environment should be the baseline status. Any outflow or semiliquid blockage = snot; any solid ejecta or blockage = booger.
A booger returned to its “habitat” would interfere with the normal operation of the nose, and by that criterion, would remain a booger (unless it happened to dissolve inside the nose, a highly unlikely occurrence).
Exactly! If you were to…reinsert a booger, then its boogerhood would be stripped. More realistically, the boogerhood would be postponed, because unless your nose has some special snot assimiliation process, that chunk of whatever is going to come out first.
I believe if one tries to repatriate a booger to its former home, no good can come out of it. The proto-boogers that live there will shun the returnee and the nose will itch until the traitorous booger is again expelled.
I’m not sure what good can come from repatriating boogers other than to get compound boogers. Strange that, cutting into one and finding layers. Still, it’s the quickest way to build a core for booger bonsai.
In the bathroom in a local bar, above the urinal, I found what I feel was the ultimate booger. It was an unbroken circle still bearing the cylindrical shape of the nostril where it had recently dwelled, and there were at least two hairs sticking out of it. It was a pale, greenish yellow.
