Nosepicking for Pleasure: A Handy Guide

by Roland Flicket, Jon Higham (Illustrations)

Packed with tips, tricks, hints, and pointers for the perfect picking experience, this handbook details the art of nosepicking—the revolting habit usually abandoned, hopefully, in childhood. However, to aficionados of this dextrous and time-honored practice, it is a pastime to be savored. Written by the world’s leading authority on the venerable booger, this handy guide strikes a blow for nasal foragers everywhere, charting the fascinating history of picking and tracing the development of its manifold techniques—including the Revolving Thrust and Jerk, and the Corsican Shove. Also containing a wide range of practical advice for nostril pokers, this crazy chronicle takes a hilarious look at one of society’s most repulsive yet compulsive habits. For all those people who harbor a secret picking addiction, and for those who just love all things grotesque in their humor, it is guaranteed to make them laugh, cringe and, most of all, improve their picking ability tenfold!

Ajatuksena ihan hauska, sisältö ei kuitenkaan jaksanut naurattaa.

[Kurt Fox]

I am not going to rate this; it is what it is. The title (and author) says it all. What do you expect from a book like this. I am sure this will be a great gag gift for grandpa or that uncle that always asks you to "pull my finger." Or perhaps a white elephant gift? Choices abound.

Hauska pikku kirja. Eniten nauratti "nenänkaivuu runoissa ja lauluissa" -osio :D

Silly but good fun, particularly the illustrations.

Look, it's a silly book about nosepicking. It has illustrations. There's a technique called "Open Inverted Standard Ballistic." What more do you want?

Ehkä vähän väkisin väännettyä hauskuutta, mutta sai tästä toki iloa, kun luin ääneen muutaman valitun kohdan asiaan perehtyneelle perheenjäsenelle :)
