Why do we have noses?

[Snoggera]

What would be the detriment if we didn't?

I see (yes, eyes seem to be necessary) no reason for noses.

Any ideas on this?

Somewhere to put the Cocaine, hence screwing our lives up worse than Hogan's Goat. Apparently, Noses are The Work of Satan, item# 3,756.

6. Just suppose you had no nose...

Then you could never smell a rose
or pie
or chicken a la king.
You'd never smell a single thing.

7. The better to smell you with?

Plus, if I didn't have a nose, I wouldn't have allergies and migraines and then I wouldn't have an excuse to get out of work when I'm not really that sick.

8. Your nose filters the crud out of the air you breathe

and also warms it a bit for your lungs when it is cold. Thats the serious answer, anyway.

The sense of smell is important to our memery function. I don't mind the occasional stench as long as I can smell the sweet perfume too.
