Q: If your child often picks their nose, does it mean they have worms?
Topical, practical and in their defense somewhat of pertinent question. This quandary comes from the supposedly authoritative voice of the ABC news. A violent debasing of editorial standards once held of the highest regard you may ask? Wrong you are friendo. You see, I found this in their science section. And you can't argue with science, for it is scientific. Just like photosynthesis, gravity and Charles Darwin himself.
In getting to the heart of the issue I feel this question needs to be answered by the motorists in peak hour freeway traffic. The ones for whom afternoon tea was just not that filling enough, who have more enjoyable things to dig along to than singing to 'Sexy Bitch' on the radio. And no Sir, your window tinting isn't dark enough for a sufficient level of opacity required to maintain privacy. Instead you my commercial snot mining friend may have worms. And the cure is going to require more machinery than just that right index finger of yours. For excavation of a different type of cavity is in order here. Orifice to say, it will not be pleasant and I bet your just 'itching' for the answer.
A: No.
Pheeeewy. Sleep easy children. Just thank the ABC for disentangling the mysteries that burden our modern lives, mysteries that seek to unravel the thread-worms holding together the very fabric of our society.
I know I do.
