Can you control your BOOGERS? Please!

Boogers are gross. So don't shoot them at me. Cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. Don't pick your nose and touch me or things I may be required to touch in the future (door handles). This message is intended mostly for Nate and Sydney, but it can apply to you also.
So sticking with tradition...

Booger facts:
What is a booger? A booger is mucus. Sometimes it dries up, sometimes it stays gooey, sometimes they're clear and sometimes they have a green hue (usually when you're sick).

How many boogers do you have? According to coolquiz.com, Your nose makes nearly a cupful of snot every day.

Can we get rid of them? If you have to get rid of boogers, your best bet is to blow 'em out of your nose and into a tissue. Picking your nose isn't a great idea because boogers contain lots of dirt and germs and because poking around in your nose can make it bleed (KidsHealth.org).

This is just weird. Virtual nose picking at it's finest.

What's Green and sticks to your fingers? Booger the Frog, of course!

This is making me ill. How about...

Beverages named after boogers? Bloody Booger, Booger, and Gator Booger.

Booger Food! Booger Burgers, althought technically not a real recipe, the thought is sick enough to make it on my list.

A real defination from an online dictionary: mucous secretion, mucus - protective secretion of the mucous membranes; in the gut it lubricates the passage of food and protects the epithelial cells; in the nose and throat and lungs it can make it difficult for bacteria to penetrate the body through the epithelium (thefreedictionary.com)

What It Is (And What It's Snot): Snot is mostly water. It also has salt and chemicals in it that help it stay sticky. Snot and spit might look similar but they aren't the same stuff. Spit comes from salivary glands inside the mouth. (Kidzworld.com)

Finally, a Booger Quote: "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your freinds nose."

The normal response for a change in body position, results in a stabilization to the upright position in approximately sixty seconds. During this process, the normal change in heart rate would include an increase in heart rate of 10 to 15 beats per minute, and an increase in diastolic pressure of 10 mm Hg, with only a slight change in systolic pressure.
