Query to the World at Large:

Why is it that everywhere I go, I end up giving away all my handkerchiefs?

Not that I mind, and of course I'm not obliged to give them away, but it's always struck me as a bit odd. No matter how many I fold into my pockets, when I come home in the evening they've all been handed out.

One of those odd laws of the universe, no?

How funny! I've never noticed you losing them....though you have given me handkerchiefs before. :)

I find I spill a drink every day. It doesn't matter what drink it is, whether it's water or wine, I always end up making a mess. It would be funny, if I didn't leave so many stains from the things I spill.

I've noticed that. It really is a shame. And I can't figure out how it happens, either. It's not as if you wear trailing sleeves. Not most of the time, at least.

You may count yourself lucky that you know where they have gone. I am afraid I cannot say as much.

For me it's pencils that vanish without my having any idea where they went.

Because that's you, dear 'Ferre. You would give away your handkerchief, even to Eponine if she were to show up, I daresay!

*blushes* Well, you're right. I suppose the numbe of people to comfort increases with the number of my handkerchiefs.

Perhaps if you took record of the number of people to comfort and your number of handkerchiefs, you could find a direct relationship between the two. But would it be linear or exponential growth?
