The Tell Tale Tissue

PE has always been creative in the manner in which he stores and disposes of random items used in the typical aging superhero day. This has already been chronicled in the adventures entitled "The Toothpick Trail", and "Will it Flush".

As of late, being always in need of throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities(tissue for short), and possessing a new wardrobe lacking in shirt pockets, PE has taken to storing his extra throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities under his cap. This leads to an avalanche of small white fluttering things every time he removes said cap. PE has searched in vain for alternative modes of storage, but lacking shirt pockets, and having his pants pockets crammed with various and sundry aging superhero devices(one does the best one can when denied one's superhero utility belt), he has seen no other sensible solution.

What has frustrated MSG no end, however, is the manner in which PE is fond of disposing of the aforementioned throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities. It appears that in a former life, on his home planet(yes, Alterno World is not his home) such throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities were made of self destructing material. Therefore, disposing of throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities was merely a matter of tossing them in the air and watching them disintegrate before reaching the ground. Throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities had been perfected to such a state that if not used by their sell by date, they evaporated, package and all.

Unfortunately for both MSG and PE, the throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities are not as advanced in Alterno World. In fact, there are serious fees and penalties assessed for throwing away throwaway individual snout scraper utility entities in any manner accept the officially sanctioned collecting receptacles. MSG has offered much exhortation and counsel to PE regarding this matter. But an aging superhero's habits are firmly entrenched. . .

And so, one fine spring day in Alterno World, PE and MSG set out for a short jaunt to town to purchase some aging superhero snacks from the local aging superhero snack center. PE declined to accompany MSG inside, choosing instead to remain behind in the superhero/ess transport device. As MSG finished her purchases and approached the superhero/ess transport device, she noted something small and white laying upon the ground just below the window. As she drew closer, she was horrified to realize that PE had resorted to his old behavior and had, whilst she was purchasing the snacks, chosen to dispose of a throwaway individual snout scraper utility entity in an completely unsanctioned manner. MSG rushed to the transport device, hurled the snacks into the storage compartment, and quickly removed the offending throwaway individual snout scraper utility entity from the ground. (Fortunately for PE and MSG, the throwaway individual snout scraper utility entity appropriate disposal squad was sweeping the far side of the perimeter and had not noticed the offense.) The offending throwaway individual snout scraper utility entity was quickly and appropriately disposed of in an officially sanctioned collecting receptacle.

As they drove away from the scene of averted catastrophe, MSG mused, "that was a close one!"
