If there is a group of people, and there is an unpleasant task to do, the last person to put their finger on their nose is the one who has to do it. Sometimes someone will say "nose" to instigate the onset of "nose," and again, the last person to put their finger on their nose, loses.
note: this has
NOTHING to do with picking your nose. You put your finger
on the OUTSIDE, not the INSIDE, of your nose. If you have trouble destinguishing between the two, there is probably a
sesame street song that will help.
Person 1: The trash is overflowing!! Someone really should
take it out.
Person 2: Nose!
(persons 1-8 put their finger on their nose, followed by person 9)
Person 3: hahaa, Person 9, you lose, you have to
take out the trash, and boy does it stink!
(Person 9 tries to argue, then realizes that it's futile, and
reluctantly takes the trash out.)
