I can't decide whether to blow my nose or not -- HELP ME, DU!
I don't have any tissues, but isn't it kind of wrong to use a paper towel or a bit of toilet paper? Using a paper towel might make me start to associate my kitchen counter with boogers, and butt paper on my FACE I just don't even want to think about. I can't wipe it on my sleeve because I don't want to leave snot-tracks - it's a nice shirt.

My nose is STILL running, what should I dooooooooooo?

3. Sheesh I use toilet paper all the time.
A lot more economical than kleenex.

18. OK you would have to get over that.
Seriously, it's no big deal. It hasn't touched a butt YET, it's just as virgin as a kleenex! It doesn't have to be folded or packed into a box, so it's "touched" less than kleenex and might just be more sanitary - ever think of that?

4. How about one of those snorts
where you suck it down the back of your throat? Voila! No paper needed at all.

6. Go to the store and buy kleenex, but use cash
becasue you do not want to use your signatre when buying kleenex.

10. Baseball sneeze!
you know, a finger along side the nose to hold one nostril shut. then lean out and blow hard and quickly through the other. a nice booger should be ejected

13. That's called a "Farmer Blow" where I come from.
It's so disrespectful to agararian people.

17. Do this in the shower
One nostril at a time. Block the right one, expel from the left one. Block the left one, expel for the right one.

We call it an "Irish Hanky".

(Everyone else picks on the Irish, so we pick on ourselves first.)

12. Just wipe it on your arm
If you're wearing a long sleeve shirt. If you're wearing a short sleeve shirt, you're on your own.

19. butt paper on your face is an extraordinary experience
Edited on Tue Dec-28-04 05:25 PM by Kire
but, please remember to blow your nose before you wipe

likewise, wipe before you blow your nose

In fact, it is best not to use the same sheet on both ends of your body at the same time.

For research on this matter, I suggest seeing "The Aviator."

21. what the heck did I just say?
Edited on Tue Dec-28-04 05:46 PM by Kire
I don't make any sense sometimes. What's worse is, I'm not even funny.

I guess the important thing is, don't wipe and blow your nose at the exact same time (???)
