I remember getting hankerchiefs for Christmas from my father's old maid
aunts. It was nice of them to remember us, but paper tissue had been
invemted. The idea of blowing my nose and then wadding it up in a snotty
old rag was repulsive to me even when I was a kid. Once in a while I
see someone using one in public and I have to admit that it grosses me
out.... not using the hankie, but shoving it back into their pocket.
