Like it. Feet don't smell though....they stink!

Noses run for several reasons. 1. If you have a cold or flu, extra mucus is made to try to keep out anymore germs which can make you even sicker. This extra mucus will either trickle down the back of your throat or will run down your nose. 2. Allergies. Extra mucus is again produced, because your body treats allergies like they're germs. 3. When you cry. Tears drain down tear ducts which empty into your nose, so the tears mix with mucus and it runs down your nose. 4. When it's cold outside. Basically, water condenses inside your nose, just like it does on the inside of a window when it's colder outside than it is inside, and this water, mixes with mucus and runs down it. Feet smell because they sweat a lot. Each foot has over 250,000 sweat glands which produce over a pint of sweat (each foot) each day. We all have bacteria on our skin which eats the sweat and then excrete waste, and it's this 'waste' that has the strong odour.

Haha. This is funny, and points out some of the funny idioms associated with the English language. This reminds me of a language class I had in college. I learned that the following sentence can have (I think) 20 meanings. It's fun to think it through. "I saw the man on the hill with the telescope." It could mean that you met a man on an observatory. (A HILL with a telescope.) It could mean that you are on another hill and through a telescope and at a distance see a man standing on a hill.... On and on. Language is fun to contemplate.

your nose is running away cuz your feet smell!!!

Yes, but noses also SMELL and feet RUN...!

If you ever put your nose to the grindstone, you will know the answer to the first question. The second is more problematic. Perhaps someone inverted the W and made it M so that feet that swell now smell. I would chalk that one up to scribal error.

1) We say "Noses run" because "to run" was choosed to describe something particular happening to noses. It is now one of the meanings of "to run". However, the main function of noses is to smell. 2) We say "Feet smell" because "to smell" was choosed to describe something particular happening to feet. It is now one of the meanings of "to smell". However, the main function of feet is to run. 3) Why these particular things happen, is clearly described in "jangobean"'s answer to the question 4) If you are mixing the meanings, you could be surprised that noses seem to do something that feet normally do, and that feet seem to do something that noses normally do.

Because the nose smells the feet and the feet run for the nose.

Poor hygeine, as evidenced by the smelly feet, makes you more prone to disease, hence the runny nose. You should take better care of yourself.
