Perhaps they could classify them as booger-ites and booger-mites depending on if they formed on the upper or lower side of the nasal passage.

Boogerites are only those boogers that reach the ground. As long as it never reaches the ground it remains a booger.

I see you too have studied nasal mineralogy. Have you done your share of field work?

Apparently in central Africa, the locals notice that monkeys and whites are the ones who eat raw bananas.
Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.
At least the monkeys know what end to peel them from.

I was wondering why that was not mentioned. Which way were the whites in question peeling them?
It is actually more characteristicly American to peel from the stem end. If you have a banana that is hard to peel, try the other end. Most of the world does, I understand.
