Hmm... does this actually have a purpose.
Jesterj's take on why people pick their nose.
No, I can explain it all it is the most liberating feeling in the world to sit their and cram you finger up your nose seeking for the nugget of truth and wonder. People stare at you with disdain but all the same you do not care its something that must be done. Even if those of a smaller intellect can not understand or enjoy the pleasure one receives from excavating lost relics of the nasal passages. The truly free and brilliant do understand the joy the feeling of relief that comes from being able to part take in this wonderful past time. There is nothing ever so quite the same as pulling the big chunk of nose gold free, the rush involved equals that of climbing Mnt. Everest and coming back alive with all your fingers and toes. This is why people not only boys enjoy picking their noses.
