I can reach back with my tongue and scoop them out. Never knew they smelled until one day I kept one and squished it in my fingers. I nearly died after smelling it. It's like bad breath times 4 million.

Sometimes when they're really big you can reach back with your finger and press the perfect spot to eject it.

Recently my doctor looked in my throat and asked when I had my tonsils removed. Said they were never removed, but I did pick that crap out of them all the time. He was fascinated. You never like hearing a doctor say "wow". I'd prefer if my doctor yawned from boredom the whole time.

that's not fascinating, or at least that isn't the word I would use

A self administered tonsillectomy over time, picking them down to nubs seems more than interesting

I don't think that's what happened and that wasn't implied by the comment at all?

The commenter said they picked at them constantly so much that the doctor thought they had already been removed

My crypts have enlarged over time due to stones growing and shifting and shedding. Manual removal can definitely contribute to that, and the shape of the tissues might therefore lend to slimmer appearance of the organs
