> \*\*When people lick their finger/fingers before turning the page. Even worse is when they lick their fingers before taking the top paper on a stack of papers and then handing you the slobbery paper. I’ve had teachers do this numerous times when I was in school. Why was I the one who always got the slobbery papers? 😃 \*\*

I refer you to Umberto Eco’s _The Name of the Rose_ for one possible solution to this problem. 😃
