we're not supposed to eat bogeys? :o

ERGG!

I don't eat them!

(unless they slip down the back of my throat and don't give me a chance to hock 'em up)

I mean, they're only being transferred from one orifice in your nut to another one, so what's the big deal? And, as Rosie so eloquently said, they can take the rear route anyway.

ewwwwww - bogeys are not meant for consumption!
Posted by Rosie, 14:24, 20th November 2003:
 
bogeys are dried bits of dust and shit that are caught in the nose hairs. YUK!

I don't swallow on them on purpose. Knowingly eating them is gross.

'We all consume a peck of dirt before we die.' as the old addage goes. I don't think eating bogeys is as harmful.

why do people driving cars always pick their nose at traffic lights/jams?
Posted by WarHead, 00:21, 21st November 2003:
 
Because it's dangerous to do while the vehicle is in motion.

apparently a common bacteria can form in your nose cavity area, so if you pick your nose, then scratch your head, it can spread....

ha pick your nose and eat it

I suppose you know what ear wax tastes like too?
Posted by ilovebeerme, 10:08, 21st November 2003:
 
kinda like lentils
Posted by Kitty, 10:20, 21st November 2003:

Then just eat the bogey before scratching your head. I mean, no one wants to walk around with bogeys in their hair, do they ..... unless they're saving them for later of course, in which case beind your ear is a better option.

Earwax doesn't tasted good at all. Bogeys are infinitely more tasty.

eating bogeys is not very nice now is it?
Posted by ilovebeerme, 15:15, 21st November 2003:
 
better than putting a corkscrew in a puppy.

How do you know :

1. That it's not very nice?

2. That it's better than sticking a corkscrew in a puppy?

I think that 2 is probably true cos it stands to reason, dunnit, but if so many people DO eat bogeys it can't be all that nasty, can it? Not that I'm trying to pursuade you to try it if you find the idea totally disgusting, you understand, in the same way that I find the idea of sushi totally disgusting and although I know a lot of people are supposed to like it, I deffo won't be trying it.

sushi is great :)
and all those people who say they haven't eaten bogies, i bet you did when you were younger.. all small children eat their bogies - FACT
as for the bacteria, of course there's bacteria in your nose, your whole body is crawling with it, a lot of it is 'friendly' bacteria too innit..
