In an effort to revive this...

2) Is it a kleenex or tissue? Honestly, it doesn't really matter

 

Good guess, and thank you for helping to keep it going. Alas, you are still wrong

 

Carol's ruse to obtain running away clothes.

 

You are about as close to the answer as my toes are to each other...

 

WOO! What the guy at the laundry folding table went to fetch when Carol was verklempt over cobbler.

 

I don't know if the young'Uns here, know what hanky is (bad grammar, slam me later tater).

 

you had me at verklempt!

 

LOL Thanks for the picture! I can't take credit for verklempt--someone else said it earlier for Carol and the cobbler and we all enjoyed it.

 

[MENTION=103861]LGRitz13[/MENTION]. I realize I still have not been specific: TISSUE!!
[MENTION=8839]Prufrock[/MENTION], Yes, people still know "hanky." I know because a while ago I tore my side visor right off of my MiniCooper, trying to get the sun out of my eyes. (MiniCooper has the WORST sun visors in creation because they leave horrible gaps for airbag inflation.) Pieces flew everywhere. I found everything except one lock clip, so today I went to the Parts Department and asked the young woman if I could get one. Nope, I would have to buy a brand new side visor for $129 before taxes. So I said, Nah, I'll just close the window with a hanky at the top. And she laughed and nodded and wished me a good day.

On the driver's side, Mini has a barely adequate front sun visor and a completely inadequate side visor. The front visor can be pulled out of its holder and shifted to the side to awkwardly cover the side visor's big gap. Stupid me. I wasn't paying attention and tried to do it the opposite way--pull the side visor over to the front to block that gap. Oops.

Not being able to block the sun at all now on the side is hardly any different from when I did have a side visor, though, so there's that....

 

Hi de ho!
Mrs Hanky the Visors Poo.

 

As I was eating my Cheesy Poofs tonight, I realized I might be able to use one of the sun shade products for babies, the kind that cling to a window, so it would be easy to slap it on and take it off, instead of a hanky.

 

Come on folks, you are all LOOKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

 

I was separated from my brothers and sisters.
Is it a tissue or a Kleenex--doesn't matter.

I was close when I was thinking about Carol's ruse.

Okay, I'm pondering.....

 

Carol?

 

Carol in escape mode?

 

LOOKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION is clue number 3 right?!? right?!?

The clothes Carol stole as she misdirected clothes-folding man's attention?

 

Hey @LGRitz -- I got it! Finally. These were great clues. Too bad they were pearls before swine.

 

Heyooooooooo. Look at you go. I appreciate the above compliment, I look forward to solving yours now
