Answer 2

The nose starts off smaller than the fingertip. But in those who indulge in contact sports like nose picking, the nose tend to get stretched to the size of their fingertips. The rest of us tend to have a smaller nose.

Answer 3

Hands with fingers are human tools. And fingers come with different sizes, too. If a big finger doesn't fit, you still have a smaller one.

Answer 4

No, not trying it, get plenty practice when I'm at traffic lights. Your finger will fit up your chuff as well you know, so noses shouldn't think they're the bee's knees.

Answer 5

My fingers fit in ALL sorts of other places too.

Answer 6

Actually, it probably fits because your nostrils stretch to accommodate the finger.

Answer 7

Nope, not trying the bogey miner out at present, but will be indulging later!

Answer 8

It was God's way of planning ahead and covering every detail. It is the same reason you can scratch your own butt, and touch your feet to your head.

Answer 9

To clean the wax out.

Answer 10

The same reason it fits up your hole
