How does he smell?

Mugato		2013-01-25 10:11:51 AM

Your nose is supposed to go on your face. These people are supposed to be doctors and they never had a Mr. Potato Head as a kid? Jeesh.

That headline doesn't make any scents.

So if he crosses his arms will he end up sniffing his own armpit?

Craptastic		2013-01-25 11:42:31 AM

Mentat: How does he smell?

Like Jameson's.

SpdrJay		2013-01-25 11:44:38 AM

I hope he uses a good deodorant.

ImRonBurgundy		2013-01-25 11:45:21 AM

At least he didn't get it bitten off by a Saigon whore.

Hopefully, this won't be news in 10 years but a routine that's done on a regular basis. Even better, I'd like to never see a headline with the word "cancer" ever again. Someday, someday.

Q: How does he smell?

A: Awful!

So he can get a job as a Speed Stick tester.

Nose technology has advanced substantially from the days when prosthetic replacements were the only available remedy.

/Obscure?

Dimensio		2013-01-25 12:01:45 PM

Evidently my previous image was rejected.

Hey cancer patient, we're going to put this weird growth on your body. You should be used to that, right?

I'm here to see the nose, I heard it was running.

oldfarthenry		2013-01-25 12:23:58 PM

When asked `How does it smell?' he replied 'Wit me feckin' elbow, ya daft quack!'.

WyDave		2013-01-25 12:27:11 PM

brap		2013-01-25 12:32:28 PM

Nose cancer? Is there a ribbon for that?

AdolfOliverPanties		2013-01-25 12:37:43 PM

And people think I'm disgusting for wiping my nose on my sleeve.

I've just been ahead of the times.

Clash City Farker		2013-01-25 12:44:26 PM

And it will be closer to his sleeve.

Empty Matchbook		2013-01-25 12:52:52 PM

CALLED IT!

Why not have a mouse grow it for him?

I can't even snark about this. It's awesome. I hope they get this going for people who currently are candidates for face transplants. They won't have to worry about anti rejection drugs for the rest of their lives.

This article is seemingly missing the 2 most crucial components of being successful.

1. picture of the guy without a nose.
2. picture of his nose growing on his arm.

Looks like he doesn't have to go around anything to get to his nose anymore.

mongbiohazard		2013-01-25 04:58:55 PM

They're growing a new cancer on his arm?

Mr. Shabooboo		2013-01-25 05:15:16 PM

Lrrr will be pleased to hear that human horn can be grown so easily..

They're growing a new Irish man.

As pleased as he was when he discovered that the trousers concealed a tiny lower horn.

Does not approve.

Dude, have you looked around lately? There's a WHOLE BUNCH of knuckle-dragging-mouth-breathers out there. If we can't have cancer, we need to bring back the public shame. I'd love to throw some tomatoes at a douchebag who hit his wife or kids. Something needs to keep the morons at bay though. They're farking like rabbits!
