I was thinking on the school playground one day and thought I was brilliant. I had a runny nose and thought 'well, stuff comes out of your nose and stuff comes out of your penis. Both can be messy so why is it that our noses can be uncovered in public while the other part can't be?' I thought I'd run around with my nose covered and no pants on to show the world that it should be no more of a taboo than exposing your runny nose. I thought I'd bring something the next day to cover my nose and start the revolution and I'd be a hero. I told my mother about my great idea and she explained why I shouldn't expose that part. I never went through with it either.
