What do boogers smell like?

[frorider6]

It's a proven fact that if you're exposed to a certain smell long enough, you no longer notice it. I've been exposed to booger vapors my whole life so there's no way I can smell them. I wonder what they smell like. Good? Bad? Better than roses? How is anyone ever going to know?

NOSE PICKING
GLOSSARY

The Kiddie Pick ...When you're by yourself and you uninhibitedly twist your forefinger into your nostril with childlike joy and freedom. And the best part is, there's no time limit!

Camouflaged Kiddie Pick ...When, in the presence of other people, you wrap your forefinger in a tissue, then thrust it in deep and hold back the smile.

Fake Nose Scratch ...When you make believe you've got an itch but you're really trolling the nostril edge for stray boogers.

Making a Meal Out of It ...You do it so furiously, and for so long, you're probably entitled to dessert.

Surprise Pickings ...When a sneeze or laugh causes snot to come hurtling out of your nose, and you have to gracefully clean it off your shirt.

Autopick ...The kind you do in a car, when no one's looking.

Pick Your Brains ...Done in private, this is the one where your finger goes in so far, it passes the septum.

Pick and Save ...When you have to pick it quickly, just when someone looks away, and then you pocket the snot so they don't catch on to what you did.

Pick and Roll ...No explanation needed.

Pick and Flick ...Ditto.

Pick and Stick ...You wanted it to be a "Pick and Flick," but it stubbornly clings to your fingertip.

Paydirt ...The kind where you remove a piece of snot so big, it improves your breathing by 90%.

I know there was a post on "why are Fridays so dead".........but it doesn't mean that you have the right to ask stoopid questions YA DAMN FREAKAZOID!

Boogers....................hmmmm, ................I don't think we will ever know. Why don't you pick your friends boogers and smell them? That should give you the answer!

I considered that, but this is the conclusion I came to. Boogers all smell basically the same. Each person's booger will have slight variation in smell from someone else's booger. Therefore, if you smelled someone else's booger, you'd only smell the slight variation from your own, not the actual scent.

But do boogers really all smell the same?

For example, if you have a sinus infection, would your boogers smell differently?

Why don't you pick some boogers and leave 'em out for a few days, then go back and smell 'em.

Also, when you have that runny, mucuous snot, leave that out too! Or have your friend smell that!

Well, when most things get infected with bacteria, it's the bacteria that produces an odor as a byproduct of energy production. Therefore, if it did smell differently, you would be smelling the bacteria and not the actual booger.
