Who "nose" the answer?

Have you ever noticed when people blow their noses into a handkerchief or tissue, they invariably look at the handkerchief or tissue afterwards? Why do they do that? What are they expecting to see there?  

If you can hazard a guess, please leave your insight in the comment section. (I'm expecting dozens of comments, same as for my previous blog posts. Not. Ha!)

Shammi, as for me, my nose is sensitive to dust and when I blow my nose, I expect to see dark/black dirt patches (usually the effect of house dusting or travelling thru a dusty road). I feel relieved seeing those dirty boogers else they cause an after-effect at night (I am prone to mild wheeze). So reason I look at it? If I am not convinced that all the dust is out, I blow my nose repeatedly or dig until I am really convinced!
[sorry if reading thru my comment made you squirm but you asked for it! :P]

haha, thank you for that honest reply, Ravi! :) That's at least one good reason for looking at the contents of your nose in your hanky/tissue :D

Shammi, this might provide a more convincing reason? :P

ARRRGH! Ravi, that was beyond gross! If I thought even for one nanosecond that it could actually happen, I would chop off my own nose! :D I absolutely loathe slugs, however small...ugh, thank goodness slugs can't appear like that.
