taking a break from the war and conquest, i was thinking today as i rode the bus home....
picking your nose in public.
from my understanding, the dominant opinion regarding this act is that it is inappropriate/gross etc....
i asked myself the question......why exactly? its not the fact that bacteria is contained in your mucus, because if germs were so dangerous we'd all walk around with protective gloves/masks on. we touch so many public things everyday from door knobs to shopping carts to hand rails.
i eventually decided that the most powerful factor in outlawing "booger retrieval" via digits.... is that awkward moment when you actually get something. it is then that you must decide whether you need to wipe it on something, or if its possible to roll and shed with a flick. this of course is detirmined by the consistency of the specimen. some savages also choose to ingest the mucus...
either way, whichever disposal method you choose must be executed with extremely concealed movements.
it is an extremely exciting and challenging situation to be in public with a wet sticky glob of mucus on your finger.
believe me.
i now understand the popular opinion in this matter.
