Tissues were once user friendly. They came in long boxes, Kleenex made most of them and they were easy to use and access. Open the top of the box, pull out a single tissue and you were in business. Then Satan got involved. He convinced the tissue people to squeeze 80 or so tissues into a small square box and pack them in with such force that it would be impossible to simply pull out a single tissue. He also talked Kleenex and others into hiding the fold of the first tissue so that – no matter how hard you poked around – you couldn’t find it and then you proceeded to pull a huge wad of tissues out on the first snatch – and still no sign of the fold for the next tissue.
Now your brand-new box of 80 tissues is down a dozen or units, and you get to blow your nose with a quarter box of tissues.
It almost makes you want to go back to cloth handkerchiefs.
Thanks a lot, Satan!
