Strawberry Hanker Chief

This morning i woke up feeling rather sick and lethargic. But after taking a shower and blowing my nose a lot, my cold has nearly subsided. Anyways, recently( i realize this is quite a vague term and that i am usually a pretty descriptive person, but to be honest i don't remember exactly when or where this incident happened.)

Recently, i saw a man blow his nose with a blue hanker chief from his pocket. It had a strawberry pattern on it. This disgusted me. Sorry to offend anyone who uses these vulgar little bacteria carrying rags, but then again i guess i'm really not sorry because as i have said earlier, if you don;t enjoy this blog, then why read it?

Anyways i find these "hanker chiefs" quite grotesque. I mean really. This is a tissue that you re-use over and over again until you do your weekly laundry. I mean let's say i were to use one of these "hanker chiefs". Considering the fact that i'm sick and blowing my nose lots and lots already, if i were to suddenly sneeze at the end of this week after recovering from my cold in the middle of the week, then i might just receive the cold again because of all the bacteria on this "rag of doom". And to top it all of: They put it back into their pocket after each usage! That must make the insides of all their pants pockets just awful.

This raises another question regarding the hankerchief. Why are strawberries called strawberries? They could be called red berries, or red and yellow berries, or red berries with yellow dots. But there doesn't appear to be any resemblance of straw on these berries. And for that matter what is up with that expression strawberry-blonde. I mean dirty blonde is so much simpler. Is this because blondes don't like to be reffered to as "dirty".
If this is so, i would assume it would be because they already have to bear the "dumb" blonde jokes. But still, i'm sure that the blondes could find something better than "strawberry-blonde". When i think of that i think of strawberries, which then makes me think of redheads. Because strawberries are red, not blondish.
