Hey, guys — Do you remember that when we were kids, Kleenex was only just then coming onto the market?

Men used to carry two handkerchiefs — a dirty one for their own snot, and a clean one to offer a lady in distress.

And they say there hasn’t been any progress!

Really, think about it — with a world familiar with COVID, can you imagine if tissues hadn’t been invented?

You know when they hadn’t been? The Great Flu epidemic of 1918. They didn’t show us how people had to dispose of their snot on Downton Abbey!
