depending on where Ive been, yeah.
If I spend too much time in a dusty dry environment or a weld shop, I need pliers to get the dried crust broke up and out.
q-tips are good for the slow runny noses that aren't producing enough to blow, but thin enough to run. I've also used a shop rag for that application.

I cannot express my extreme gratitude for how much I appreciate the depth of knowledge and wisdom that has been passed along to we who are so inept and inadequate in these quantitatively complex situations of which you are discussing. I have reveled in the amount of knowledge I have gained in life's more complicated issues. I now believe I have a much better understanding now of the proper procedures for picking my nose. I will be in your gratitude from now on.

With that, I will thoroughly cleanse my hands, use sanitizer and shut this computer down before I completely overwhelm my poor little brain capacity. I definitely need more ram to be able to handle these complex problems of life.

Nighty nite you craze nuts................................

Now I understand your position on certain issues. More importantly I'm glad your my friend!
Thank you Tim. You'll never know what that means to me.

Nah, kinda hard to be sarcastic arrogant and condescending when I have something in my eyes.

Y'all be careful with nose picking apparatus, a little to deep and your head will collapse.

Probably because you already tried the pliers and Q-tips.



Morning all. 44 last night when I went to bed. 31 @ 5AM and 8 inches of the heaviest, wettest snow I've ever seen. It won't even flow off an angled plow blade. Just sits there and builds up about 20 feet out in front of the plow. Glad I have a 14,000 pound machine!

Greetings.
Removing large encrusted loogies with a pair of needle nose pliers works well. I found a shop vac can pull the looong stringy ones better. It works best on someone else's snout.

The Alabama preacher approached his congregation one Sunday morning.
"Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan.

"This is a horrible lie and one which a Christian community cannot tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to accept this.

"Now, I want the person who started this vicious rumor to stand and ask forgiveness from God and this Christian family."

No one moved.

The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to face me and admit this is a false-hood? Now, remember you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel glory. Now, stand and confess your transgression."

Again, all was quiet.

Then, slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with a body that would stop a runaway train rose from the third pew.

Her head was bowed and her voice quivered as she spoke, "Reverend, there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I never said you
were a member of the Ku Klux Klan. I just told one of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets."

The preacher fell to his knees, his wife fainted, and the congregation roared!
