Why are both your nostrils not the exact same size?

A silly question I know, but no harm in asking.
Why are your nostrils never exactly the same size? I have a theory it's because when we were babies we slept more on one side of our head than on the other, closing one nostril more than the other, my left nostril is slightly smaller than my right, I checked the wife's nose and her right is smaller than her left. This never crossed my mind before until I noticed it when shaving today, Now I can't help myself gawking at the peoples noses when watching TV and when you get a good close up you can see they are not the same either. Can't wait to get to the pub tonight to do a bit of nostril spotting, Nostrildamus investigates.

Jem both sides of your face are different and not symmetrical (test this out by holding a mirror in the center of your face while looking in another) so it is not surprising both nostrils are different too..

I wonder how many people went and looked in the mirror like I just did? Can't say I ever noticed my nostrils are not exactly the same but I don't think I'll lose any sleep over it

Have you noticed your face is creased in the morning for a while then settles down to it's own form after a while.

I used to be fixated about the Symmetry, now I am more concerned about the Cemetery.
