Kristen: Alright, we have a few questions. MR: Yes. Kristen: The first one is from
Tricia Braid, "why is it gross to trim your fingernails public?"
MR: Tricia wants to know why it's gross to trim your fingernails public? Well...
Tricia...I
I don't know that it's gross necessarily to trim your fingernails in public provided of
course you dispose of them
uh... socially acceptable way. From a
socially anthropological sort of
analysis I would put the
trimming the fingernails in there proper disposal
in the same basic category of uh...
you know what you do with the gum that you chew when you're done chewing?
Do you spit on the ground. do you throw it away, do you
wrap it up and
in foil?
I don't know
uh... what do you do
god forbid if you pick your nose?
I mean obviously that's not something you would do
public, but if you have to did you do it
it becomes really a proposition of uh...
of disposal
i would think.
Uh... I guess you could say the same thing too
about uh...
smoking. Right? I mean still smoke what what do you do with the cigarette butts? The point is
I wouldn't so much condemned the behavior of trimming your nails assuming
you're not biting them and spitting them.
I would confuse that behavior
vis-a-vis grossness with the choice you make vis-a-vis disposal.
So my guess is that the kind of person that throws the cigarette butt on the
ground or spits the chewing gum and out of your mouth, or wipes your booger on a
bench you're probably going to just
clip your nail letting them fall.
So those people all live in this category.
The other people
you know...non animlas
uh... they live in another category.
Now I'm not casting dispersions. Truth is I do trim my nails when I'm home
and uh... typically
I make
a little pile
when I'm doing it on the coffee table
and then I throw them in the fireplace.
I don't know that they actually burn but I've never noticed my fingernails the
fireplace later.
But that is where I put them
and eventually they just
vanish. Did I answer that? Kristen: Yes.
