There has been much talk lately in this province regarding talking on cell phones while driving. There is a much larger menace to the motoring public… the compulsive nose-picker!
I really have to ask… WHY?! Twice this week I have stopped at a traffic light and somebody has been picking away. Not the subtle “quick pick” that one might pass off as “I was scratching my nose”. No, I’m talking half way to the second knuckle “I was scratching my brain” picking!
I’m not the only one discussing this subject… a quick Google reveals over 200,000 hits.
I have a really strong constitution, so frightful sights like those in the autos next to me don’t cause much of a reaction. However, less stalwart drivers might experience a “fight or flight” response to these extreme nasal invasions and attempt to flee the scene with all due haste. And as we all well know, speed kills.
Let’s keep it safe out there. Nose picking should be treated much like sex; it should only be done in private. Keep it at home where it belongs. And last but not least… don’t pick your nose on Sunday, you won’t find God up there.
P.S. Please feel free to substitute an alternate day of worship and monotheistic deity consistent with your belief s, and have a nice day! P.P.S. Atheists, I guess you can have at’er… but at home! Geez!
