Why do I have a feeling that this is going to start a discussion on public
nose-picking?  :-)     I would like to comment that many times (I feel it
to be the majority of times) when I pull up to a stop light in my car, if
I look over at the driver next to me, there is a good chance that he/she
(although I seem to notice this tendency less with women) will be picking
his/her nose.  Anybody else notice this?

Just remember... you can pick your friends... and you can pick your nose...
but you better not pick your friend's nose :-)
