  • Apply Aqua Net to the sinuses. (Withdrawn 1988.)
  • Chew cinnamon gum aggressively at the onset of any sniffle.
  • Visit Nose Zone, the first mall mucus kiosk, near the carousel.
  • Avoid the carpet sample store. The carpet sample store knows what it did.

Etiquette Codex

  • Sneezing into one's scrunchie is acceptable in a pinch.
  • Mall food court tables are to be wiped before AND after any nasal event.
  • Polite mucus disclosure is required before entering a friend's Camaro.
  • Sharing a tissue at the arcade implies engagement.
