"YOU'RE BUILT WRONG; YOUR NOSE RUNS AND YOUR FEET SMELL."
USED WHEN IN CONVERSATION WITH A PERSON WHO HAS A COLD. HIS
FEET RUN AND HIS NOSE SMELLS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, BUT THIS
PHRASE IS USED FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS CONTRACTED THE COMMON COLD.
Submitter comment:

REMEMBERS HIS GRANDFATHER USED IT JOKINGLY.
