handkerchief in your pocket? Pulled out the pocket knife to cut some twine one of my grandkids messed up and took out the handkerchief to get at it. He asked what it was and what I used it for and did he need one! Just something I've always done[:0]

    I carry a red or blue bandana/snot rag every day. If I have to wear dress cloths I carry a white handkerchief/snot rag. It was installed in me at a young age that you always had your hanky and pocket knife.

    NEVER blow your nose into your hanky![xx(]

    Haven't carried a handkerchief for over 30 years.

    I think pulling a rigid, crusty piece of cotton out of my shirt pocket lost its luster when Kleenex made them disposable....

    I can flick a Booger and pick off the Flea on a Bee's * at 10 feet!

    I don't need no fancy hanky!

    No hanky, but I always have a couple of folded-up paper towels in my left rear pocket, mainly to temporarily stop the blood flow when I cut myself with my pocket knife or other dangerous object. It gives me time to head for the duct tape.[:I]

    What does a poor man put on the ground and a rich man put in his pocket?



    Snot.

    Agreed. I've had someone offer me their handkerchief before. Declined, I'd use my sleeve first.

    Never, ever without a handkerchief.

    Wearing glasses, one is necessary.

    Not even, I carry lens cleaners.

    Same here.
    Just about anywhere ya go, there's a men's room with a paper towel dispenser. Been using the same faded bandana to wipe my glasses for so many years it has holes in it. Not once has it caught snot.

    Handkerchief, pocket knife, and wrist watch. Feel naked without any of the 3. Also an ink pen and small pill container with anti diarrhea pills and over the counter pain meds.

    Two. One clean one for my glasses, one to blow my nose in. Been doing that since 1st grade in 1985, and was made fun for it all the way through high school... all the while other people snorted their snot and wiped it on their shirt sleeves. Who is the stupid one that should be made fun of? [:D]

    The four items that are ALWAYS in my pockets: lip balm, knife, handkerchief, and wallet. One in each pocket. I seldom use the handkerchief for blowing my nose, but it's there in case. I use it most often to clean my reading/sun glasses, but have used it to stop bleeding, wipe up spills, daub stuff out of people's eyes, and more. I buy good ones (linen) but consider them more or less disposable if they are used with something nasty or staining.

    A fresh, clean one is mostly sterile, doesn't shred, has many uses, and never becomes ugly litter. Can't say that about tissues.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    I'm with Don. I have tissues at work, at home and in the car, and pocket packs for outdoor travels. I seldom carry a hankerchief anymore.

    Didn't get out much, did you? [:D]

    Kleenex turned 30 sometime back during the Eisenhower administration.

    I assume you tissue lovers hold onto your snotty piece of paper until you find a trash can, right? Or do you just drop your little loogie wad on the ground/floor?

    I also suppose you've never tried to bind up a wound with a kleenex, or grab a hot pot handle with a tissue.

    Those little tissues are fine - for one thing and one thing only. A good handkerchief excels for lots of things. Just sayin'

    nope...I keep baby wipes in my glove box though and my wife keeps them in the diaper bag.....disposable is much better I think when it comes to stuff that can carry disease.
