Why on earth would a student who is smart enough to get into Rice University decide to study "Earth Science"?
As my dear departed dad would ask: "Can you make any money with that?"--LOL!

Rice University is also the home of the [James] Baker Institute for Public Policy. Of the Iraq Study Group. Feh!

I use Kleenex exclusively. No snot nosed kids are going to tell me what I can and can't buy.

"This reminds me of a bumper sticker that I saw a few weeks ago: "If you are opposed to logging - try using plastic toilet paper".
Your great, great used corn husks. Not fun, sorta like asking Hillary to give your friends a speech.

AArrggh. Old men's handkerchiefs always, always grossed me out, from when I was a tiny tyke until this very moment. Could never comprehend how anyone could use them. Ewww, ick.
But I don't have any issues with tissues.
Oh, except one - don't clean your glasses with Puffs. They smear something on them. And Kleenexes pop up from the box just right. If you've ever had whooping cough or pneumonia like I have repeatedly recently, you'll appreciate that "feature." Puffs just lie there and make you work to get them out. You can't be in a hurry to grab them.
Kleenexes rock; Puffs suck.

My dear departed dad, who *was* an earth scientist (geologist to old-schoolers), tried his best to force me to go to Rice.
I wouldn't have any part of it, craving instead the rarefied intellectual stimulus of drunken frat parties and fine football in Norman, OK. For a year, anyway, lol. The wrong year. SDS, sit-ins, protesters ... me in Villager dresses and Peter Pan collars. Clash! Off to SMU after that. Then I found out that hippies were everywhere.

Agree, Kleenex for tissues and Charmin for TP. It has to be soft for both, and these brands are the best.
