I don't lick my fingers before turning pages but I do like to smell the paper.

Worse is the women in my local Bakers who licked her finger to open the paper bag she was putting my bread in!! She then wiped her nose with the back of her hand!

Smelling paper is fine...... so long as it has wet Tip-ex on it.
I much prefer mine unseasoned.

it's needed sometimes, i can't remember anything in recent history, but i do remember some huge books printed on very thin paper, which, when new, were impossible to turn over

Went to buy a coffee the other day and the retard behind the counter opened the milk container with her fking teeth infront of the queue.

Pours it into the jug and then asks me if I want milk in my coffee.

Wouldn't worry too much about turning pages if I were you. Just bear in mind that every day you are basically eating other peoples' snot, st, spunk douche juice and gobste.

Which is nice.

Does it count that I have to do it to get new carrier bags open?

I must admit to doing it, but consciously avoid it when reading second-hand books. Yuk.

Saw a hilarious video once on "You've Been Lisa Rileyed" where a little girl was reading a book and had obviously watched Mum or Dad licking their fingers to turn the page. Thing is, she was licking the finger of her left hand and turning the page with her right...

This could be more annoying, I heard it from a paramedic in London, true......who knows?

They get a call to go to an office where a worker had badly cut her tongue on the edge of an envelope when licking it. Couldnt stop it bleeding, so off they went to A&E. End of story.......no!
Some weeks later one of his mates in A&E said to the paramedic, never guess what happened to that woman with the badly cut lip?
She had come back to A&E again after they had sorted it. Her tongue was badly swollen with a large lump forming where the cut was. When they checked it out they found cockroach (!!) larvae in her tongue.
The glue they use is partly made of fish products and an adult cockroach had laid her eggs on the glue prior to the lady licking the envelope and had got inside the open wound!!!! YUK!!!!

However you have to promise me that under NO circumstances do you tell this story to HRG, because if you do in a few days he will be on the forum moaning about a mystery pain in his mouth. REMEMBER DONT TELL HRG!! (If you do we will have to rename him HRT)

Could be, those paramedics can be wind up merchants!!! he did claim that it was one of his jobs, usually the wind ups are about a mates job?

However, its a fun story to terrorise the girls with.
