Tissues Don’t Work In The Shower!

I am in the shower this morning while my wife is getting ready for work and I feel my nose start to run.  I lean forward slightly and hold the opposite nostril shut and give a good blow to clear me out.  Of course my wife yells at me how disgusting I am and why couldn’t I wait and how disgusting I am the rest of the time I was in the shower. 

I tried to explain my rational to her but she was just not going to entertain that I may be right.  You see, if you are in the shower you cannot just reach for a tissue to blow your nose.  You are already dripping wet and not only will you leave a wet trail from the shower to the tissues but you will also have the tissue disintegrate in your hands before you blow making for a bigger mess to clean up.  Everything that goes down that drain mixes with all the stuff that gets poured into the sinks, and flushed down the toilets.  There are much more disgusting things that get flushed in the toilet then my snot.  Although there are times I get yelled at for that too.  I told her I was also uncomfortable and needed to get it out or I will be miserable until I can get a tissue.  She was not buying any of it.

I have had a little cold for a few days now.  It is not a bad cold, not one of those miserable summer colds that my friendHeddy has going the past week or so.  I just have a little bit of clogging going on.  Occasionally, I need a good blow or spit to get the stuff up and out and if I can save a tree by blowing it out in the shower or the yard then I am helping save the world right?
