Rather than continue derailing the memes thread, I have started a new discussion.
There, I made the assertion that a true man is never without a pocketknife, a handkerchief, and some cash. Most people had no issue with the knife or cash, but pooh-poohed the handkerchief a bit. Some even suggested that as long as there are shirt sleeves, one does not need a handkerchief. That was possibly a joke. Maybe.
However, I would like now to point out that a handkerchief is valuable for more than blowing one's nose.
Discussion?
I use my ascot for blowing one's nose. I find that a nice paisley ascot can hide an entire week's accumulation of snot before being laundered.
