I defy you to push this plunger handle through this tissue. You say that's no challenge. You say you've been known to push a sneeze through a tissue?
you'll need:
1. A tissue
2. A plunger
3. A paper towel tube
4. a rubber band
5. A bunch of salt
You need to secure the tissue around one end of the paper towel tube with the rubber band. Take your salt and pour it in a depth of at least 6 inches into the tube. Now it's plunger time! No, no not the business end, use the handle please. Put the handle into the tube and try your best to push through the tissue. Couldn't do it could you?!! What happened why didn't that work?!!
You see there are lots and lots of tiny air spaces between the grains of salt. When the plunger strikes the energy from the blow goes into pushing the salt crystals closer together and against the sides of the tubes. There is no energy left to tear the tissue.
