Health Hazards of Knitting

My scarf is coming along nicely; however, I've learned that it is not wise to breathe while knitting. If you breathe through your nostrils, you will undoubtedly catch fuzz in your nose hairs causing you to suddenly drop down your needles and grab at your nose with nails that have needed trimming for at least two weeks. If you breathe through your mouth for some moronic reason, you will find yourself making hacking noises and cough up fur balls like a maniacal cat.
