Handkerchiefs

[Brizzlebush]

I've very often got a cotton handkerchief in my pocket. Always a paper one or a napkin picked up from somewhere.

I'm still living with the trauma of my Dad spitting on his to wipe my face

When I hit 30 I told him enough was enough.

Glad it wasn't just my dad then!

(cotton) hankie since my long-ago (and not voluntarily) days of wearing camo and carrying an assault rifle. unlike tissues it's rather hard to blow into them and get snot onto your hands when blowing too hard ,they don't get soggy in your pocket when you get wet or sweat (which is common in my rainforest environment) and can be rinsed easily in a creek or elsewhere if they got dirty...

i've been to china where they get a shock if you use hankies or tissues while they blow their snot on the ground (can you say: "yikes!"?!) and in a train i actually saw some guys blow their snot onto the ground and later sleep in the very same spot, so it's easy to guess which solution i prefer....

West side story has a lot to answer for.

But when they start to dance before a fight I make my getaway....
