Eating Your Boogers is Conductive of Moving Society Forward
this entry brought to you by the white stripes, "dead leaves and the dirty ground"
I don't get what's so disgusting about eating your own boogers. Yeah, I know, bacteria, blah, blah, blah. Listen, I've never heard of a kid getting sick from eating too many boogers. I'm not aware of the names of any booger-eating diseases. I never heard of a mom having to call in sick for her kid eating too many boogers. "Yeah, Jimmy's going to be out sick for the next two weeks. Yeah, it's endoboogeritus again. When will he learn?"
You might be making a face and think about how gross I'm being, but do you realize what the alternative to eating boogers is? Sticking them on the under side of your desk or chair? Flicking them and letting them end up whereever they land? Rubbing them on the carpet? That is disgusting. Yet this is what people do. They leave their boogers everywhere. Don't tell me never just flicked one off. You'd be a goddamned liar if you told me that.
So here we are, living in a society that shuns picking noses and eating boogers, and while we find it disgusting when we see someone that wipes their boogers just whenever, we secretly have no qualms about doing it ourselves when no one is looking. I think that not only is eating ones own boogers less disgusting than how we seem to be already handling the situation, but it is also much more sanitary.
