Chapter 2 Nose picking is up to you

You can rely on others to pick your ears, but you must rely on yourself to pick your nose. It sounds obvious, but few people know it. I didn't know it until my beautiful Greek friend made a rude request that day—— "Extend your hand and pick my nose for me." The Greek friend said nonchalantly. "Say? What?!" I thought I heard wrong. "Pick my nose," repeated the Greek friend. The tone was very flat, and if you didn't listen carefully, you thought it was something like asking me to help you peel apples. "Pick your nose for you?!...Use, use my fingers?..."

"Of course! Otherwise, do you want to use a spoon? Do you always pick your nose with a spoon?!" "Hmm...do you really need to use your fingers?...this...uh...nostril..." To be honest, I don't really care about such a task, I just don't know what my fingers will think... Ignoring my hesitation, my jovial Greek friend grabbed my finger and stuffed it up his nostril. went in. Strange fingers meet strange nostrils.Although the situation is a bit embarrassing, it is no more embarrassing than meeting two people who are strangers to each other. After turning the finger a few times in different directions, there seemed to be nothing more to do, and the Greek friend sighed, pointing the finger to the nostrils of the new acquaintance to say goodbye——

"Hey, even the Greeks who can turn the god Zeus into a swan and let the swan rape Leda, once they touch the nostrils, they still have to rely on themselves..." "Uh, actually, it's a good thing to pick your own nose if you have nothing to do." I comforted my Greek friend while washing my hands. "Oh...you won't understand..." The Greek friend looked very depressed—— "There are only two holes called 'nostrils' in the whole body. I can't understand the fun brought by other people's fingers..." It sounds a lot like a gray-haired old mother annoyed by her only young son who is not good enough.

Nose picking does have an extremely subtle social status. The world's top fashion models, even if the door is suddenly opened when going to the toilet, it is believed that they can immediately put on a provocative pose on the toilet and take excellent photos. But if you get caught picking your nose, there's nothing anyone can do about it. A wayward rock singer, on the stage of a concert, in front of 100,000 people, spits and urinates, but never stands still and picks his nose, which makes the crowd shout wildly. Obviously, when nostril digging is a must, it's up to you to figure it out.

If there were a survey to find out what you don't do when someone sees it, and what you do when no one is watching, I'm afraid "nose picking" might get the first place. This should explain why you can't rely on other people's help for picking your nose—it can only be done secretly by yourself, and there is too little opportunity to be apprenticed and practiced. As human beings on the earth together, although we are constantly exchanging the air that each other has breathed through the nostrils every second, how strange we are to each other's nostrils!
