I bite my nails. And I build up a lot of buggers. Two things that don't go well together. Often, when I go to pick my nose, I find that my finger pushes the contents further inside rather than excavating. The solution would be to develop a thin, plastic 'shield' that slips on your pinky nail and effectively scoops out any and all hard-to-reach nasal plaque.-- d-eschew, Feb 08 2001 Nasal Douche http://www.wholisti...Shop/id/238/page/1/ [Klaatu, Sep 30 2011] You don't work in a fast food joint, do you?...
Better not...-- Wes, Feb 08 2001 How about not picking your nose?-- Wes, Feb 08 2001 Sans zippyanna's version of the nasal backhoe, try Qtips (or, Utips if you'd prefer to make a teenybopper fashion statement).-- reensure, Feb 11 2001 I'm thinking of a clip on excavator...sort of a tonka toy back hoe thing that clips onto the nostril.-- grackle, May 06 2001 Not sophisticated enough compared to my electric nose picker. This digital digit will twist and turn around your nostrils and rapidly remove all unwanted snot. Then simply rinse under a tap, and wave your snot goodbye.
For a small extra charge an attachment for removing belly button lint is available.
David Inger-- David Inger, Sep 23 2001 What about some variation on those drops you get for softening ear wax? Just 2-3 drops up each nostril, wait 30 seconds, and sploosh!-- pottedstu, Sep 24 2001 Unfortunately it is extinct now, but God actually had the solution when She created the Blow Nose Fly (in the same genes as the Blow Fly), also known in Alabama, where I'm from, as the Booger Fly.
According to cave paintings found in Peoria, and etchings on a grail found in Mobile, the adult Blow Nose Fly laid eggs in the nostrils of all warm blooded bipeds (cold blooded bipeds were out of luck, but that's how the divine hand works). The larvae of the Blow Nose Fly kept the nasal passages open and clean, just like it's cousin the Blow Fly whose maggots keep gangrene from becoming a social nuisance and distraction in church.
But there is hope, since Blow Nose Fly larvae have been found preserved in amber, so maybe through advances in DNA research, we will be able to reestablish the Blow Nose Fly maggot in time for those pesky summer colds, wood shop projects, or allergic reactions to eggs when a chicken rancher from Arizona appears in your horoscope.-- otrcomm, Feb 01 2003 Uh, thanks for making me re-evaluate what is and is not pleasant to think about, otrcomm. I think you'll fit right in here...-- snarfyguy, Feb 01 2003 since you're so devoted to nose picking: why not take the time to grow your pinky finger nail excessively long and then file it to form? saves you some money and some embarrassment when going to buy the nose pick device at the store.-- bubblegrrl79, May 19 2003 If God meant us to eat bogies, he wouldn't have invented hankies.
It is a matter of personal pride and the thrill of the chase to hunt down the solitary annoying ones that evade capture.-- Ah Supp, Sep 30 2011 Our newest member is apparently a nose picking connoisseur...-- RayfordSteele, Oct 01 2011 Did think of taking it up as a career at one stage.-- Ah Supp, Oct 02 2011 "....God actually had the solution when "She"...." She sure did when she created Jesus with the Virgin Mary. A truly Magnificent Conception!-- Ah Supp, Oct 02 2011 [Supp], when we quote somebody else's anno, we use double-forslashes (like so: // ... //) as sort of 'exagerrated' quotation marks; makes it easier to spot when scanning down a page that has spawned multiple anno threads. Don't worry, you'll pick up the protocol in no time.-- Alterother, Oct 02 2011 Wilco Alterother.-- Ah Supp, Oct 02 2011 random, halfbakery
