Admit it!): Take a Sudafed or other snot-eradicator of your preference. (I read a chapter of "Atlas Shrugged" aloud while beating a Democrat. Stops the sniveling every time!) Wait about ten minutes for it to start to kick in. Eat two huge bowls of really really hot chicken soup. (Or take a long, hot shower.) This liquifies all the snot in your system. Have one absolutely enormous nose-blow session. Bring lots of Kleenex. Result: Dry sinuses, snot all gone, two or three hours of blissful unclogged respiration.
