Handkerchief Report

[marcusmarcusrc]

arcanology, chenoameg, and I all use handkerchiefs. justom does not. Therefore not all graduates of our high school use handkerchiefs. But do _only_ graduates of our high school use handkerchiefs? This I ask of the livejournal community...

(Hmm. I realize now that justom did not attend our middle school. Perhaps this is the key!)

ps. More random Spanish notes: Handkerchief in Spanish is "pañuelo". Diapers are "pañales". Bedroom slippers, on the other hand, are "pantuflos".

pps. If one doesn't remember the word "pañales", but one desperately needs some, store owners on random streets in Mexico City will, in fact, understand the poor gringo who says "calzoncillos para bebes". And this ends, hopefully, not only random Spanish reports of the night, but livejournal posting from me in general, as I am going to bed!

See, I actually think that handkerchiefs, while classy, are inferior technology to disposable kleenex. Because, eww.

chenoameg once proposed a correlation between handkerchief use and wearing glasses, claiming that handkerchiefs were better for wiping glasses than kleenex.

Disposable kleenex are definitely what I prefer for when I actually have a cold where my immune system is sending buckets down out of my nose.

But for the once-every-couple-hours-my-nose-itches-and-I-need-to-do-something, well, a handkerchief works well.

Huh. And I don't actually use my handkerchief for my glasses, that's what my shirt is for. =)

Yeah, that's what I do, too.

I didn't go to the Middle School, so I continue to shoot your correlation to heck.

(People will allergies or chronic sinusitus are more likely to use handkerchiefs?)

I carry handkerchief, solely for glasses.
