I used to think that the "napkins" in the dispenser in the ladies restroom were actually napkins to dry your hands on. I was in the restroom once with a friend and we had washed our hands and were trying to decide if we wanted to use the paper towels or the special "napkins". I thought they must be pretty special if you had to pay for them.
