A boy had a cold and needed to blow his nose. There was no tissue in the classroom so he ran to the bathroom and blew his nose into a paper towel square; more paper than towel. Upon removing the half utilized paper from his face to inhale, he paused and examine the paper towel. The way he had blasted the low quality paper towel left a symmetrical blotted pattern of wet and dry resembling a Rorschach ink blot. He was oddly fascinated by it, albeit a disgusting happenstance. Forgetting to sneeze, he looked at it a while longer, trying to discern what the shape reminded him of.

A fellow student walked in. He holds the sneeze blot out at the student. “What does this look like to you?”

“Oh Jesus!” The student was grossed out and completely caught off guard.

“Hmm,” The sneezer examined the paper towel again. “Okay, yeah — I can kinda see it now.”
