I have a book by that title, given to me by my eldest son for Christmas one
year.
In this modern day why not do what I do, carry a few tissues in your pocket.
This all brings to mind a little ditty from my long ago misspent youth:
In days of old, when knights were bold,
And toilets weren't invented
They dropped their load by the side of the road
And walked away contented.
Happy New Year, Ruth

I'd hate to consider wiping a tick up one's derriere. Are we talking the
soft little pine cones, or the gigundous hard cones? Is it just a matter
of aesthetics and personal taste? This is definitely not something they
covered in scout leader training or ordeal weekend.
