How do you stop a booger flicker?

My brother can be kinda gross at times

Ok imagine this, a 65 years old man that is just enthralled with picking his nose.

Then he rolls up the booger in his hands and shoots it into the air, In my home.

I have asked him to not do this but he just cannot help himself, Pick, roll, flick, pick,roll, flick.

This drives me crazy as my wife and I just put brand new 90 ounce carpeting down and its a fairly light color eucaliptus {spelling?}

My wife really gets annoyed and my brother now hides doing his flicking when colleen is in the same room, but as soon as she leaves, pick, roll, flick.

I do not want to cause a beef with my brother because he is all the family I have left from mom, dad, rose and joe.. they are gone and it's just me and him.

How can I stop this? without it causing a war?

hmmm I know with the kids they have all gone thru a stage of booger flicking, I ended each one by embarassing them by telling them to get a tissue, usually if we were all in room this worked for them. Good luck with bro.

Well...I have to say, rolling and flicking is much preferable to picking and wiping...(as you know, I have two little boys, and I'd much rather vacuum up little crusties than scrub booger streaks from the walls...or couch!).

Maybe you could give him a booger tray? Like an ash tray, only for his boogers?

(Seriously, though...if he's not going to stop, maybe that might help)
