« Remember, kids, to save your nose goblins! »
Dr. Friedrich Bischinger, you wonderful man!
Here's a guy from Austria who says medically speaking, it's a good idea to pick your nose, AND to eat it.
Apparently a finger can reach places in the nose that a tissue (or "handkerchief," as a European would put it) can't reach.
Eating your boogers helps your immune system, because when the bacteria enters your stomach, it works like medicine. Which I guess is what penicillin is, after all.
I know this is real, because it's on the Ananova website. Not unlike that phony CNN article about how "blowjobs prevent breast cancer," where the doctor's name was really weird like Weinerpuller or something like that.
Bischinger isn't much of a double-entendre. If it was Schnozpoker or something, then I'd be suspicious.
On second thought, just read my latest and completely unrelated column.
