I mean, I really had just sneezed before I could quite get my handkerchief (yes, that's what a "hanky" is) out of my jeans pocket. Fortunately, I hadn't sneezed out anything substantial. But I was annoyed at not having my hanky ready, so I posted about it.

I know some people prefer tissues, but I simply usually use hankies. Most of the reason is that I was brought up that way, but pocket packets of tissues are not nearly all that readily available in Sydney. Unlike a place like Japan where they really are everywhere - they even hand them out for promotional purposes!
