Hanky, Anyone?

My roommate uses a handkerchief. When he sneezes or needs to blow his nose, he rolls a little onto his hip to reach into his back pocket and pull out the folded white handkerchief. He then puts the hanky to his nose and blows several times with incredible force. And I feel like there must be something the hanky isn't catching that ends up on his lap. Maybe not, but I just don't like to think about it. Then he does the obligatory pick and roll, when he shoves his hanky-covered fingers into his nostrils and, in perfect symmetry, massages the inside of his nose in circles. Then comes the worst part. He takes two corners and shakes the snot-formed wrinkles out of the hanky. He folds it back up to conceal its use and rolls once more onto his hips and sllllliiiides the germ farm back into his pocket. 

This whole process is unbelievable, and though it only takes twenty or thirty seconds, it's the kind of gift that lasts a lifetime.

Eww! That's all I can say. Sometimes disposable is better.

That's not even what handkerchiefs are for. They are for offering to an old lady who is crying, protecting your tie from kid vomit, and fashioning a makeshift tourniquet in a pinch. If your hanky is covered in snot, it won't serve any of those purposes very well.

Check out this video. Pay close attention at 2:34.

Laughing. LAUGHING. LAUGHING HARD. Please. More. Give me More.

I can't stand it. Is it JTS? or CB? or BF? OH I am sick thinking about them.


PS. Hankies are for waving when you are a lady in a Jane Austen film. Maybe that will make them stop.

PSS. Any girl you date? Give her a hankie and make sure you watch her use it. Just sayin.

Oh please Mommacita you know JTS better than to think that he would use a hanky like that! Hankies are only for Temple dedications and to be made into pocket squares for your suit pocket. I was told that we should use them to wipe our sweat off in the mission field but I am pretty sure they gave me tons of zits so I stopped using them for that after about 3 weeks of noticeable zit increase. I could see BF using one of those many years ago when he would also use the moldy rag that was always in the kitchen sink to clean his hands!
