- Alarm goes off.

- You awaken groggy and sit at the edge of the bed for a few minutes to gather your wits.

- You rub the back of your hand across your nostrils to scratch your nose and clear the airways.

- You notice a booger on the back of your hand.

- You head to the bathroom to wash your hand and get the day started.

- Booger is nowhere to be found.

- You go to work and have a good day.

- People smile at you and seem to respond well to you all day.

- On the way home you look in the rear view mirror to find the booger on your forehead.

What's more embarrassing, everybody seeing the booger on your forehead all day or having somebody take you aside and tell you about it? Also, how do you avoid having this happen again? You were on your way to wash it off your hand when it went awol. So, washing it off is moot.

My opinion is it's easier to laugh at yourself in front of one person than it is to laugh it off after everybody got a snicker at your expense. Also, fresh boogers taste better. Who wants to eat a booger that's been exposed all day long? That's gross.
