Five Bucks Per Tissue

The warm weather continues outside, but inside the cold virus is beginning to make its rounds.  Sneezing, coughing, and runny noses are common afflictions amongst students (and some faculty) as closer contact through exchanges of high-fives and fist-bumps along with unwashed hands makes for a wonderful breeding ground of this seasonal annoyance.  Tissue boxes seem to be at a premium these days as classrooms are constantly running out of the necessary disposable hygienic paper handkerchiefs. 


One student decided to charge $5 per tissue after he was tasked repeatedly with having to go to the main office to replenish our class supply!
