Gadsden, AL Long time worker in the-out-of-doors, Denise Hardesty finally executed a respectable "farmer's blow" today. She had given up all hope of ever successfully dishcarging snot from one nostril while pressing the other closed with a finger, and had not tried the method in years. She admitted such failure had been a "point of shame" and that she covered up this lack of skill by always carrying tissue. In fact, this new skill might not have been achieved had she not distintegrated her tissues in the wash yesterday.
Today, in the woods for a 10 hour shift while suffering a severe head cold, Hardesty found ample opportunity to practice, and eventually succeeded in blowing snot cleanly out of her nose and not onto her clothing. "I feel pretty darn good about it," she said. "I mean, I don't think of it as a real resume-padder or anything, but every new achievement feels good. I honestly didn't think this one was possible."
