This is so difficult. It's not what you might call, polite conversation.
I was trying to explain to a doctor, what had happened to a young lady whose right tib & fib were fractured in a riding fall. Unfortunately, said doctor had a humungous cabbage leaf hanging from his nose. Well I can't think of a less way of saying he needed a good blow. (That's not the sort of blow that you smoke Heather,)
So how do you tell someone? Or do you simply ignore it? I would want to know, would you?

Definitely would want to know. I just tend to say - 'do you want a tissue?'

Had he just been eating salad?

From a horse trough?

Is he known as a serial salad snorter?

How on earth would he have a cabbage leaf up his nose?

Surely he would have been aware of something that size up his nose!

Which implies he was testing you.

I would say the correct response in this circumstance would be to slap him about the face with a rather damp otter ....

I probably just wouldn't say anything. What is there to say without being obvious?

Come off it broomy, Your telling me the doctor needs a good blow,
Am i not supposed to be thinking of doing naughty things to Dr Kovatch in the stock room. Maybe he can have a smoke when were done.

I'd indicate to him , doctor you have a little, and then you gesture under the nose with your finger. He'll either goto a mirror to look or he'll remove the offending object by proxie, and if he doesn't and it smears everywhere then someone else will tell him and you can carry on safe in the knowlage you tried.

Now if you'll excuse me i have to attend to my damp otter.

I'd take out my hanky, pop it on his nose and tell him to blow.

But then I am a serial mumsy, and he'd have seen from my medical notes that I'm not all there.
