It runs when I eat hot hot chili.

My feet run, not my nose. It just smells. You must be built upside down.

@AC- Har har.

I Googled it and got an answer. In cold weather, the blood vessels dilate and the nose produces more mucus.

I wish this knowledge had come from my own head. It’s one of those daily things that you recognize but never think about.
