Covid Nose, 2020. Близок локоть, да не укусишь

 


My nose itches all the time. Why? Who nose? But in The Age of the Great Covid Plague I’m not allowed to scratch it with my fingers. I have to use an elbow. New ways of scratching in modern times.

Try it. It takes a lot of practice. In fact, I’ve been practicing for two months, and I still can’t scratch my nose with an elbow.


Reminds me of a Russian proverb: "Близок локоть, да не укусишь," (literally: "Your elbow is near, but you can't bite it"), which means "So near, yet so far."
