QDear 100 Hour Board,

Fact: I am a nail-biter.

Problem: If H1N1 touches hands and hands touch mouth, I'll become swine.

Solution: (This is where you come in. How do I break the habit?)

-Tasty fingers

ADear Tasty,

Try putting gross-tasting stuff on your fingers. Like the stuff they use on babies' fingers for this very purpose.
Keep your nails so short that you don't have anything to bite without hurting yourself.
Wear stupid-looking gloves.
Don't bother with any of the above and morph into the swine. You'll have hooves, so problem solved. Besides, pigs are cute and smart. Watch Babe if you don't believe me.

ADear Tasty,

Board Question #14611 has some suggestions, including the gross-tasting stuff. Tell everyone you know that you're trying to stop biting your nails so they can tell you to stop if they see you doing it. Reward yourself with a manicure when your nails are long enough (or maybe you're a guy and don't care for that kind of thing, in which case reward yourself in some other way). If you keep it up, you'll be able to actually scratch people's backs again!
