I’ve always been envious of “big nose” syndrome since my schnoz is smaller. Fortunately, the rest of my anatomy made up for it...

Why did Neanderthals have such big noses? From chasing parked cars?

I guess Neanderthals told a lot of lies?
That would explain Democrats too.

Let’s just say, Milton Berle had a big nose too.

One theory I read somewhere was that the large nose helped warm the air in the very cold ice age conditions they had adapted to survive in. Also, presumably it would not get frostbitten so quickly as a small one.
