BOOGERS: DELICIOUS, TASTY, AND HEALTHY!

I LMAO when I heard this story on radio after work Friday, and had to investigate it further to insure it was the real deal. Sure enough, it's an honest story.

Seems as though Austrian professor Dr. Friedrich Bischinger, considered to be a top lung specialist in the European country, has suggested that people who pick their noses are generally healthier, happier, and better in tune with their bodies. Not only that, but the good doctor says that society should take a new attitude toward nose picking...and get children to take it up.

Now if you thing THAT's something, Dr. Bischinger says that people who eat their boogers is actually healthy for you.

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.

"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine.

"Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free."

Edmonton Sun columnist Mike Jenkinson takes this story and runs with it in a hilararious piece.
